—Nehemiah 2:11-15
by: Linda Harris.
Before revealing his plan to rebuild the walls, Nehemiah inspected them. He needed that knowledge before proceeding. The Life Application Bible says, “Nehemiah demonstrated an excellent approach to problem solving. He got firsthand information and carefully considered the situation. Then he presented a realistic strategy.”
Asking for God’s wisdom is most important, but informing ourselves is also prudent. Have you ever jumped into a conversation or a project without knowing the details? Were you embarrassed? What happened when you took time to research the situation? Which worked out better?
