When you start a new job, there are always issues that pop up that you could never anticipate. Such is Nehemiah’s lot in today’s reading. He was sent to rebuild the walls, and now he finds that the rich are exploiting the poor by charging interest. People cry out to him and Nehemiah listens and solves the crisis.
Had he not, his main mission could easily have ground to a halt.
Sometimes to complete our main issue, we have to handle side issues. What I love about Nehemiah is that he takes things in stride and doesn’t allow himself to get pushed off kilter when surprises arise.
Nehemiah is a tremendous model for a godly person who understands how to bring faith into her/his work world…
Lord, Nehemiah never looses sight of his faith and the way You want things to run. He keeps his focus on You even as he leads and guides people to accomplish goals.
Lord, I pray that I learn managing others well according to Your way of doing life. In Jesus’ nam, I pray. Amen.
