We all need a place and a time to start over. A new direction often begins with asking the right question. The book of Nehemiah begins with a question. It was a question that sent his life in a new direction. A new beginning often starts with the right question. What if your future were just one question away? What Nehemiah found out was a big problem. Don’t hide from the problems, face them. The greatest movements of God often begin with the greatest messes of men. We have to be honest. We have to be vulnerable.
There comes a moment where you have to take a risk, a step of faith. Imagine the sheer audacity of Nehemiah’s hope...he wanted to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem, that had essentially been in ruins for a more than 100 years.
