We learned yesterday that when Nehemiah focused on the “Why”, he was able to inspire others to join the cause. The cause was bigger that just one person. It required a shared vision and a community of workers.

 

What God has called you to do is most likely larger than you.  It will require purpose, vision, passion and prayer. But it will also require the involvement of others. You will need help. You can accomplish so much more when you have a team with “a mind to work”.

 

Nehemiah told his people what God had said and some people got involved, and some didn’t. The ones who identified as builders DID SOMETHING! They strengthened themselves for the good work that was ahead of them.  Then they arose and build.

 

Prayer, planning and preparation are essential, but there comes a time when you must act. Arise and build! Get your hands dirty, mix the mortar, saw the wood, drive the nails! Be doers of the good work!

 

Say this out loud right now:  “I am a doer!”
