The Narrow Way

Nehemiah knew the work was done
not because every stone was perfect,
but because the wall stood.

Nehemiah 6:15 says,
“So the wall was completed… in fifty-two days.”
It was finished because the purpose had been fulfilled,
not because it was flawless.

Sometimes God’s “done” looks different from ours.
We want the paint touched up,
the floors swept,
every crack filled.
But God says,
“The wall stands. Move forward.”

Recognizing the completion of a rebuild means you stop obsessing over the small flaws
and start living in what God has restored.
It means you trade the hammer for the harp
the work for the worship.

The enemy will whisper,
“It’s not ready. You’re not ready. Wait longer.”
But if God calls it finished,
it’s finished.

Because here’s the truth:
Rebuilds aren’t about perfection
they’re about purpose.
They’re about getting you standing again,
ready to step into the next chapter.

Ecclesiastes 3:14 says,
“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear Him.”

When the rebuilding is complete,
you don’t just have restored walls
you have a restored testimony.
You have proof that the God who began the work
is faithful to finish it.

So walk through the gate without hesitation.
Live in the space you rebuilt with His strength.
Throw a song into the air that says,
“The wall is up, the work is done, and my God gets all the glory.”
