April 20 Holy Discontent!
For Nehemiah, it all began with a God-given “holy discontent.” His heart was broken when he received news that the walls of Jerusalem lay in ruin (Nehemiah 1:11-2:8). Has God given you a “holy discontent?”
April 27 Accessing the Damage!
In Nehemiah 2:11-20, Nehemiah begins the work of restoration. It meant some “behind-the-scenes” accessing of the damage. How bad is the damage? What will it take to fix it? These are important matters for rebuilders of walls and lives!
May 4 It Takes a Team!
Nehemiah did not go out and rent a whole bunch of construction equipment and start on the project alone. In Nehemiah 3, we read about a team of people that he enlisted to join him in this God-honoring, restorative project. Who’s on your rebuilding team?
May 11 Overcoming Opposition!
No matter what you do for God in this life, there will be pushback. The naysayers and the foot-draggers will raise up their ugly heads. Sometimes they even strategize to stop the rebuilding. It happened for Nehemiah and his team (Nehemiah 4,6) and it will happen for you and yours. What will you do?
May 18 Victory Celebration!
When the restoration project is finished, it’s time to throw a party! God loves parties. But how do you do it? In Nehemiah 8-10, we see how Nehemiah and his partners in the rebuilding did it.
