Once the walls rose again, we saw Nehemiah, a man of valor and vision, become our governor. His leadership was a testament to his unyielding faith in God, even when faced with adversity.<\/p><p>We rebuilt the walls amidst taunts and threats, finishing in an astounding fifty-two days\u2014a testament to our collective strength and Nehemiah&#8217;s guidance. Yet, when Nehemiah returned from a brief absence, he found our commitment wavering.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Sounds familiar?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Sometimes even when we achieve remarkable success under great leadership with God\u2019s assurance, we cave in to fear enemy threats and worries.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We need to rely on and be close to God always\u2014in good times and in bad times with or without the presence of a human leader. The temple was misused, the Sabbath desecrated, and our people had again intermingled with foreigners, forgetting the very laws that kept us close to God.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We, the builders, were not strong enough in the Lord and that\u2019s how we lost it. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Nehemiah&#8217;s fervor didn&#8217;t falter. He cleansed the temple, reinstated the Levites, and enforced the sanctity of the Sabbath. His actions, though severe, were necessary to steer us back to righteousness. He cast out the foreign influences, reminding us of the covenant we had with our God. His faithfulness inspired us, to repent to God, and get closer to Him again.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>God manifested His great mercy through His servant, Nehemiah.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Likewise, today, we need to heed the call to return, repent and ask God for forgiveness.<\/p><p>To us builders, Nehemiah was more than a governor; he was a shepherd guiding his wayward flock back to the fold. His deep love for God and for us spurred his determination to renew our faith and ensure that the law of God was not just obeyed but lived with joy and reverence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>God is gracious and merciful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>He sends us helpers and we need to be able to recognize them as God\u2019s intervention to help us find our way back to Him.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Sometimes we can get so consumed in living in the world that we miss the cues and telling sins from God to return to Him.<\/p><p>Though opposition was fierce and the tasks daunting, Nehemiah&#8217;s resolve was strengthened by the Lord. He was driven by the memory of our ancestors&#8217; laments by the rivers of Babylon, and his desire to not let history repeat itself was unwavering.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Om pir \u201cbuilder\u201d role today, consider how we can learn from the builders then under God\u2019s ultimate leadership.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>How can we grow our own spirituality to be the next builder-servant leader for God?<\/p><p>The restoration of the walls was not just about stones and mortar; it was about rebuilding our identity as God&#8217;s chosen people. Our story of rebuilding the walls is a legacy of faith, a testament to the power of a united community under God&#8217;s grace, and a reminder that with dedication and divine guidance, we can overcome any adversity.<\/p><p>If we are faithful to God, then He will bless us with peace and love on earth and ultimately be with Him in heavenly kingdom.<\/p><p>We warmly invite you to come to the True
