A vision from God

A vision from God:

Will always be bigger than you. Impossible to do without God.

There will always be more questions than answers

There always obstacles

There always a lack of resources

There is always a feeling of being alone, even isolated

Let’s look at Nehemiah

He was a servant, a slave. He was a man with great potential, but he was himself in a place that seemed hopeless. How could this slave do anything to change the circumstances and situation of his people?

He was so far away, he had nothing, he was no one, no money, no authority, only a desire to do something.

This was the plan of Nehemiah

1.                  Convince the King to let me go from his service and rebuild the walls around a city that used to be a military threat to him.

2.                  Convince the king to pay for it.

3.                  Get letters for the kings along the way that his trip and supplies will be safe.

4.                  Get a letter for the keeper of the kings forests to supply the wood for the city gates and a house for Nehemiah

5.                  Ask the king to make Nehemiah the governor of Judah

6.                  Organize, train and equip the people who lived in Jerusalem

7.                  Begin construction and finish

Are our plans this big?
