—Nehemiah 2:1-10
by: Gem Barton.
Nehemiah, who had been taken captive to Babylon, was serving in the king’s palace, but he never forgot where he came from. He was concerned about Jerusalem being in ruins and he had a mind to rebuild it. God granted him favor in the sight of the king so that he could get time off and the resources with which to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The enemy tried to intimidate him, but Nehemiah was undeterred. Whenever a believer sets out to do the will of God, there are always enemies to that plan. But with God in charge, you will succeed and triumph over every scheme and plan of the enemy.
