Fortified Against Derision
Nehemiah 2:12-20
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem…


Admiral Colpoys relates that when he first left his lodgings to join his ship as a midshipman, his landlady presented him with a Bible and a guinea, saying, "God bless you, and prosper you my lad; and as long as you live never suffer yourself to be laughed out of your money or your prayers." This advice he carefully followed through life.
