Nehemiah’s story reminds us that God’s work moves forward when everyone joins in. No one rebuilt the wall alone, and no one’s role was too small. Priests, goldsmiths, merchants, and families all cooperated to make the vision a reality. Today, ask God to show you where you can contribute, even if you feel unqualified. Pray for a heart that values unity and for the courage to do your part in rebuilding lives.
