Neamaea 5:19

You’ve put in your all, only to see a project fail because of others. It’s tempting to blame them and turn your back completely. But that won’t help you succeed, and it can hurt you spiritually. The book of Nehemiah offers a way to move forward when other people fail you. This plan contains practical suggestions and spiritual encouragement so you can keep working with excellence in spite of failure.

After 70 years of exile, the Jewish people return to Israel to build back what was torn down. How does Nehemiah rebuild it? How did he recruit, train, and empower the Jewish people?

Have you ever felt disappointed about the outcome of something that you believed was God’s will? Did you wonder if you perhaps did not understand Him correctly? In this Plan, we will explore how to keep on trusting God when things seem to go wrong. “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” (Proverbs 20:24, NLT).

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. You’ll be challenged to trust God in uncertainty, respond rightly to opposition, deal honestly with sin, and stay focused on what actually matters. 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.
