Nehemiah had clarified the vision from God to rebuild
the walls of Jerusalem. He had taken time for the plan
to come together. We called that a time of incubation.
In the second chapter he had begun implementation. He
had taken action. This is the same process for us for
any initiative that God calls us to.
We see Nehemiah highly involved. In Nehemiah 2:18, Nehemiah
points out another essential aspect that we can not overlook;
God had a plan – it was God’s idea. When
we realize this, we will be able to see two important
factors for any Kingdom mission: the sovereignty of God
and the responsibility of man. These two factors should
be in perfect balance.
Twice in chapter two, Nehemiah says that the hand of
God is on him. Let’s take a look at what this means
and also how we can be sure that the hand of God is on
us.
