THE PILGRIMS GUIDE WEDNESDAY APRIL 15, 2026 DISCERNMENT AGAINST DISTRACTIONS A WORD FROM THE WORD: "So I sent messengers to them, saying, 'I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?' But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner." Nehemiah 6:3-4 NKJV When you know you’re doing those great things you're called to do to the glory of God and benefit of humanity, and the mockers are bent on distracting your focus, attention and efforts, do not give in to their antics to stop, rather raise your level of concentration and focus on your tasks and responsibilities. The talks about you and your 'failures' and 'weaknesses' will not abate so soon, so go ahead and be imbued by their commentaries to greater things with and in God. Every honest great work, every honest great individual was mocked all the way into what and who they became. The mockeries are the antics of the enemy to distract you, don't fall for it; maintain focus on your mission. PRAYER BULLETS: Father LORD, help me maintain focus on the tasks You have entrusted to me. I want to please You with my life, give me the grace to discern the distractions and overcome them by Your grace. FURTHER READING: Nehemiah 6:1-9; 1 Peter 5:8; Philippians 3:12-14. _______________________________________ ©️ Amaobi Nwachukwu 2026. If you're blessed by this, please, do share with others.
