If only Nehemiah had this when he needed it!
The task of rebuilding the wall was Herculean, resources minimal, opposition great and chance of success slim. Yet he didn't undertake it looking at all the problems. He had three things that compelled him forward. It was God's plan ('what my God had put in my heart to do' 2:12). It would bless God's people and was the right thing to do ('we will no longer be in disgrace' 2:17). God was providing the means ('the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me' 2:18).
In these three ways we can consider what God is calling us to do in his kingdom. If you were to think of them in your life how would they translate to what you are doing?
