Dream A little Dream

Is the LORD pleased with me? Do I please Him in what I do? Do the people I am associated with please Him? Look at 2 Samuel 12:22, and there is my answer. God wants me. He want me for His sake because He wants to make me part of His people. Not for what i can do, or have done, or will do. Not whether I cna preach, teach, or play an instrument or sing. But because of me. And He loves me.Knowing that should make me want to worship Him His way (2 Samuel 15:31) and make me more likely to come to Him,c alling upon Him so that others may come to believe Him as well. (I King 19:16,19) I should know that because He loves me, He will do all He can at His most perfect time so that I am protected and kept sheltered. (1Chronicles 5:20). Know that is pleases God to call me one of His, I am grateful that He is so powerfula and that He has chosen me, and I acknowledge His power and supremacy, because in Him nothing else will prevail. (2 Chronicles 4:11) I also attain humilit, because I know that God hears me and knows my affliction. And He cares. (2 Chronicles 33:12,13) And it strengthens me against those who would afflict and chide and punish and beat me in an attempt to keep me from doing the will of God. (Nehemiah 4:4,5,9; Nehemiah 6:9,14) In Nehemiah's time there were those who would undermine the work of the Isrealites in rebuilding their temple. There were those who denied and chastised the builders, even charging at the with swords to keep them from building the building to God. And Nehemiah encouraged His own not to give but to remember the task ahead of them and complete the task (The race as Paul would call it in Philippians). And Nehemiah called upon God for protection, reminding Himof His covenant and His mercy. (Nehemiah 9:32)
