Today’s Reading: Nehemiah 4:1–6
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“The people worked with all their heart.”
(Nehemiah 4:6)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Maintaining unity (in the Church)
A Thought for Today
Unity does not mean avoiding resistance. Sometimes it requires standing firm together.
What This Means for Us Today
As opposition arises, the people continue their work. They do not allow ridicule to divide or discourage them. Unity strengthens their resolve.
This passage reminds us that unity can face challenge and still endure.
Carry This With You
Stand firm with others when challenges arise.
Unity brings strength.
A Simple Prayer
God, strengthen us when we face opposition.
Help us stand united in faith.
Amen.
Today’s Invitation
When faced with difficulty today, choose perseverance.
Lean on unity for strength.
