scripture: nehemiah 5:1-5:13

We're learning from Nehemiah as he addresses an unfortunate situation in Nehemiah 5:1-13.

When the enemy fails in his attacks from the outside, he then begins to attack from within; and one of his favorite weapons is selfishness. If he can get us thinking only about ourselves and what we want, then he will win the victory before we realize that he is even at work. Selfishness means putting myself at the center of everything and insisting on getting what I want when I want it. It means exploiting others so I can be happy and taking advantage of them just so I can have my own way. Today, Nehemiah challenges us to "Stop and Look around for others."
