What Is Waiting Outside the Walls

In Nehemiah we see a picture of a people that were rebuilding with one hand but tearing down with the other. God had brought them out of captivity but they were returning to the sin of their fathers. God wants us to be completely free from sin, yet we sometimes find ourselves coming back to it. Freedom isn't going to come through our own strength and willpower. It can only come — and be maintained — by Christ Himself. Draw close to Jesus and trust that He is working on your behalf.
