Kind Reminder

This work had been done with the help of our God.' Nehemiah 6:16 NIV

I found this verse today and I must say it was a great reminder that if I am anything today its because of God. If I am to get anything or have anything done or if there is something I need it will only be done because of and through God. A kind reminder that it is all because of him so here I am today putting this situation with our passports, the situation with the need for us to apply for our visas now, the finances, the dates everything into his hands and asking him to take care of it but most importantly trusting that he is God, he is able, he is for me and he will take care of it. Right down to the problems of the auto login that I am having. Only by him will I be able to get it sorted. only because of him. Reminds me of that preaching from a few weeks ago in Psalms 118 - Lord you are good and your mercy endures forever. Reading it one time means its important but having it repeated numerous times in a verse teaches us the need to be constantly reminded of God's goodness and constantly reminded of his mercy and an allusion to trusting him for our good. 
one other thing that I am learning for the reading today is that even though Nehemiah prayed and God answered, it took 52 long years before the wall was actually built. That should say alot of answered prayers and growth in leadership and perseverance and waiting on God to move. Something I need to apply in my life.
