Monday - The Middle Is the Hardest Part
Nehemiah 4:6 – "So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work."
Starting something for God is exciting. Finishing something for God is celebrated. But the middle? The middle is where most people quit.
Nehemiah's people made it to the halfway mark. The wall was half built. The momentum was real. But the hardest part wasn't behind them — it was ahead.
That's true for most of us. The beginning is fresh. The end is in sight. But somewhere in the middle, the excitement fades and the weight of the work sets in.
Maybe you're in that place today. You started strong. You had a mind to work. But halfway through — something shifted.
The good news is – God doesn't abandon people at the halfway mark. He meets them there.
