Nehemiah is an OT hero who demonstrates determined leadership and dependence on the Lord. The people of Nehemiah’s time had hoped to rebuild Jerusalem and the nation of Israel so that the Messiah promised by God could come. Nehemiah helped them rebuild that unfinished hope. Nehemiah is a model of a Godly servant with wise leadership skills. The same God who helped Nehemiah finish building the walls of Jerusalem can help us to do the work He has called us to do.
