REBUILDING THE BROKEN WALLS
A WORD FROM THE WORD:
"But now I said to them, 'You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!' Then I told them about how the gracious hand of God had been on me, and about my conversation with the king. They replied at once, 'Yes, let’s rebuild the wall!' So they began the good work." Nehemiah 2:17-18 NLT.
Nehemiah was in exile, a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes, yet he had godly concern for Jerusalem and the remnant of God's people therein, when he was informed about its broken walls, he wept, fasted and prayed to God, and then sought permission from the king to return home to rebuild the walls. Nehemiah had a privileged position as the king's cupbearer and should have stayed back if he'd wanted, but the burden of the city of Jerusalem would not allow him.
There was evident coldheartedness among the Jews who returned with Nehemiah for the purpose of the rebuilding of the fallen walls, but it took the determination and godly virtues in him to counter the spiritual lethagy and indifference toward God and motivate the people to rebuild the walls.
You may have a broken wall or the other to rebuild, it could be spiritually, materially, financially, maritally, in business, politically or otherwise; you should take a cue from Nehemiah's virtues and trust God to grant you victory. He will never forsake you as He is always in the business of restoring and rebuilding the broken walls of His people.
PRAYER BULLETS:
ABBA Father, I am grateful for the privilege of these lessons from the life and service of Nehemiah. Endue me with the foresight and spiritual stamina with which to rebuild the broken walls of my life.
FURTHER READING:
Nehemiah 1:1-4; 2:1-20; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Ecclesiastes 9:10; 1 Peter 2:9.
