We live in a very individualistic culture, where we can easily imagine that God's plans for us are all about us. But the truth is, in the words of Carl Trueman: "It is the church that is the big player in God’s wider plan, not me.” Chapter 3 of Nehemiah shows us that God's purposes revolve around hundreds and thousands of unknown influencers working on their small thing for the glory of God. That's what advances the Kingdom.
