There comes a time in our journey of walking in our assignment when we have to make a decision. We have to decide if the opposition is going to be an opportunity or an excuse.

The book of Nehemiah shows us how the Lord can impact a nation through the prayers, perseverance and spiritual grit of one leader whose heart is aligned with God’s. Nehemiah modeled for us the characteristics of a Godly visionary and leader, successfully leading the people in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was a man of prayer, vision, perseverance, strategy, and courage. Let's take a look at what the Lord wants us to glean from the leadership of Nehemiah in this plan by Evangelist April Snell.

In this 5-day devotional, we walk through the Nehemiah chapters 1-6 and see what it looks like to follow God faithfully in real life.

Each day is designed to help you take a step toward living with greater purpose, faithfulness, and dependence on God where you are right now.
