Rebuild

After discovering God’s law and passionately proclaiming their desire to change, the people quickly return to old ways. What does it take to be a person who swims upstream - who stands for what is right when all around go with the flow?

Nehemiah chapters 9 and 10 show us the power and beauty of repentance. It's when we seek God's forgiveness for the way we're living and ask Him to bridge the gap. Will you let your heart be changed so that your conduct might follow?

Having rebuilt the wall, it’s time to rebuild the community. The people weep as they listen to Scripture read out because it reveals just how far their ways are from God. But does God reveal error in our lives to condemn or to open up an opportunity to change? Could it be that correction is actually life-giving?

Success! Nehemiah has seen the plan through and the wall is finished. But it would have been compromised had he allowed distraction or intimidation to set in. What does it take to remain focused on the task? Where do we find the strength that overcomes fear?

How many leaders are celebrated for their talent and charisma only to be undone by something in their character? Nehemiah was a man of integrity; the people were as important to him as the mission. How do we pursue goals while never missing the value of people?

Rebuilding something that’s broken is hard work - Nehemiah’s team find themselves overwhelmed by all the things that still need to be done in the face of mounting opposition. What does it take to see something through? How can we be people who get the job done?

Having sized up the task and gathered the team, Nehemiah finds himself in territory familiar to many of us - he gets mocked. How do you respond when you’re told your plan is not possible? What dreams never got started because someone laughed?

All of us lead somewhere. For some, it’s in business, and for some, it’s at home. Regardless of position or vocation, all of us at least lead ourselves. And in all forms of leadership, there are moments when we realise a problem - what do you do when the news hits home? Nehemiah gives us a great starting place.
