نەحەمیا 14:5-15

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).

This devotional invites you on a five-day journey through the story of Nehemiah, drawing parallels between his mission to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls and our modern quest for healing. Through daily scripture, reflection, and prayer, this plan explores themes of empathy, mercy, justice, and action, encouraging you to live out your faith with courage and contribute to lasting change in your community.

After hearing about Jerusalem’s fallen walls, which left the city vulnerable and disgraced, Nehemiah knew that action had to be taken. But first, God needed to be sought out. Often, we are moved to “make things right,” but when we do it in our own power, we miss out on the guidance and blessing of the One who brings true restoration. Discover how Nehemiah navigates his circumstances in difficult times.
