LEADER

Nehemiah 5:14-19
July 20, 2022

'Instead, I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All

my men were assembled there for the work; we did not
acquire any land. '

Nehemiah 5:16

REFLECTION

Being a leader is not easy. The emotional and spiritual stress

can become unbearable upon the leader who is under pressure.
Some continues to lead, while others become discourage and
quit. Leaders like Nehemiah are examples to follow because
they display devotion to God while walking alongside those
whom they serve. People kept on destroying their momentum
on rebuilding the wall but this didn’t affect Nehemiah and his
people because they know what and where to focus on.

MOTIVATION

Just as Nehemiah availed himself, we too have an opportunity

to allow God to work in and through us, to continue the
redemption work that he started.

APPLICATION

Recognize and appreciate the godly leaders God has placed in

our lives. Take time to pray for them and affirm them because
we need not wait for them to be perfect before we recognize
their willingness to serve in God’s work.
