How to Rebuild

Bible in a Year:

• Nehemiah 1–3
• Acts 2:1–21

They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work.

Nehemiah 2:18

It was nighttime when the leader set out by horseback to inspect the work that lay ahead. As he toured the destruction all around him, he saw city walls that had been destroyed and gates that had been burned. In some areas, the vast debris made it tough for his horse to get through. Saddened, the rider turned toward home.

When it came time to report the damage to the officials of the city, he began by saying, “You see the trouble we are in” (Nehemiah 2:17). He reported that the city was in ruins, and the protecting city wall had been rendered useless.

But then he made a statement that energized the troubled citizens: “I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me.” Immediately, the people replied, “Let us start rebuilding” (v. 18).

And they did.

With faith in God and all-out effort, despite enemy opposition and a seemingly impossible task, the people of Jerusalem—under Nehemiah’s leadership—rebuilt the wall in just fifty-two days (6:15).

As you consider your circumstances, is there something that looks difficult but that you know God wants you to do? A sin you can’t seem to get rid of? A relationship rift that’s not God-honoring? A task for Him that looks too hard?

Ask God for guidance (2:4–5), analyze the problem (vv. 11–15), and recognize His involvement (v. 18). Then start rebuilding.

By:  Dave Branon Reflect & Pray

What are a couple of “destroyed wall” situations that are troubling you? How will prayerfully asking for God’s help and guidance help you start the rebuilding process?

God, I need Your help. I can’t fix these problems alone. Help me to understand the situation, and then to seek Your help and guidance in resolving the challenges before me.

Thanks for another inspiring story.

Stay safe and watch your six!

Good evening, radu...did you get a decent dry day?

We have mostly had sun, and I even sat out for 45 minutes.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

It’s a beautiful day up there. I hope it’s warm enough you’ve been able to enjoy some time outside relaxing.

[radu]

LOL! You mist have posted about the time I got ready to post to you. A little distracted by ‘Beetlejuice’ and am slow.

We’ve been dry for the most part but had a brief shower as a cold front came through this afternoon. Nice and comfy outside now.

Glad it was warm enough to enjoy some time out on the deck. It really is a gorgeous day up there.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Are you ready to take on the new week?

Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))

The only time my foot DOESN’T hurt is when I’m riding. So I left the house about 11:00AM and got back at 4:30PM. Ride Ride Ride...through Hanover, Hanson, Halifax, Middleboro, Lakeville, Acushnet, Rochester, Marion, Mattapoisset, Fairhaven, New Bedford, Bridgewater, E. Bridgewater, Whitman, Abington, and back home again. Put over 100 miles on the Bike which rides almost dream-like in it’s smoothness since her spa-week.

I even rode through the “bad part” of New Bedford. No problems...just smiles and waves at the old white lady riding an Antique Harley and sporting a WW2 Flight Jacket.

Oh...and not ONE “Highway Mile”. All back roads.

[luvie]

What an excuse for riding. :) Not many people would think of that.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...staying as safe as I can.

Hope your return to normal is still progressing.

Well, my foot gets a subtle vibration from the footpeg, up in the arch, and it’s like a massage.

This is my bike, only mine is Blue.

Glad you had a brief shower to cool things down.

I think I’ll have to water the lawns tomorrow....they aren’t used to the heat. LOL!

[radu]

Blurry monitor here, but vides like this have a tendency to do that. :-)

[radu]

We’ll have to enjoy this cool spell while we can. Heat and humidity come back around the middle of the week. UGH!

Heat and lack of rain must be doing a number on everyone’s lawns up there.
