Today’s Scripture: September 18 “So on October 2, the wall was finished – just 52 days after we had begun” (Nehemiah 6:15).

  While reading about the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall might seem a bit dry, there is a hidden message in the gates that point us to Christ!

  Nehemiah was an effective leader despite opposition because he placed his faith and trust in God. A man of prayer, Nehemiah prayed the will of God, then immediately trusted God to help them achieve the goal. He consistently blended prayer with a response to get to work. Has God placed the desire to do something on your heart and will you put your prayer into action?
