7. Let’s Build! (Nehemiah 2:18)
Posted by Doug | Filed under Nehemiah: A Leader of Purpose & Priority
Hi and welcome back! Let’s pick up right where we left off.
Nehemiah has just cast a convincing vision and the people responded by saying, “Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem!” Nehemiah’s vivid description of their preferred future moved them to action. What unfolds over the next 7½ weeks is nothing short of amazing. In just 52 days the security perimeter of the city is reestablished. All that in less than two months!
But don’t be naïve! The 52 days of construction was to Nehemiah what harvest time is to the farmer. Make no mistake, harvest is hard work but it only represents the final relatively short portion of the growth season. If a farmer harvests it is because of disciplined work and patience that goes unnoticed except by a few—that is, until harvest time! For months and months before, the farmer has labored in anonymity. Such is the case with Nehemiah. He led the people and together they erected the walls in an impressively short period of time.

Hello, District Directors!
We are still getting many complimentary comments on Council in addition to some very useful feedback on how to improve it even more next year. Thank you for your faithful attendance. I can feel the momentum growing, and it’s exciting. God’s favor is resting on Royal Rangers, and for that, we are humbled and grateful!
As a testimony, I’m happy to report that 94% of those who turned in a Council evaluation form indicated they favored the direction Royal Rangers is moving. That is awesome! Let’s continue to pray and depend on God completely. With God’s help, our best days are ahead.
