Having remodeled the wall, it's time for God's people to remodel themselves. With the foundation of God's word, they pursue personal change. Passionate about clearing the away the rubble of wrong thinking and the debris of sinful living. They replace old patterns with obedience to the Lord and his Word. And their model is a helpful example as each of us take seriously our own spiritual renewal.

Every vibrant work of God has two things. First, the proclamation of God's word. Second, the mobilization of God's people. Revival starts with God's people becoming passionate about what God has said. Then we become the ones who share the news with those without Jesus Christ.

Nehemiah demonstrates leadership by seeking God’s direction, planning strategically, and inspiring others, even while facing opposition. This encourages us by keeping our eyes on God’s guidance in all situations, as great leaders are first great followers of God.
