We start a new book again today, the book of Nehemiah. The events of the book takes place just after the second group of exiles led by Ezra the priest had returned back to Jerusalem. While Zerubbabel focused on rebuilding the destroyed temple and Ezra on restoring the people back to spiritual worship, Nehemiah's focus will be on rebuilding the broken down walls around the city of Jerusalem. If you've ever had to take on a project much bigger than you, especially one filled with many challenges, Nehemiah has some lessons for you. Maybe you are reading this and you actually have a Sanballat and Tobiah in your life, learn from Nehemiah, the resilience and focus you need to accomplish God's best for your life.
