3 "The remnant there in the province

who had survived the exile is in

great trouble and shame. The wall

of Jerusalem is broken down, and its

gates are destroyed by fire." 4 As soon as I heard these words

I sat down and wept and mourned

for days;

NEHEMIAH 1:3-4a (ESV)

“Somebody has

to do something

– Might as well

be me.”

4 As soon as I heard these words I sat

down and wept and mourned for days,

and I continued fasting and praying

before the God of heaven.;

Nehemiah 1:4 (ESV)

6 confessing the sins of the people of

Israel, which we have sinned against

you. Even I and my father's house have

sinned. 7 We have acted very corruptly

against you and have not kept the

commandments, the statutes, and the

rules that you commanded your servant

Moses.

Nehemiah 1:6b-7 (ESV)

8 Remember the word that you

commanded your servant Moses,… 11 give success to your servant today,

and grant him mercy in the sight of

this man."

Nehemiah 1:8,11 (ESV)

10 “Do not despise these small

beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to

see the work begin…”

permission

and the

King grants it.

17 "You see the trouble we are in,

how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its

gates burned. Come, let us build

the wall of Jerusalem, that we may

no longer suffer derision."

NEHEMIAH 2:17-18

18 And I told them of the hand of my

God that had been upon me for

good, and also of the words that the

king had spoken to me. And they

said, "Let us rise up and build.“

So they strengthened their hands for

the good work.

NEHEMIAH 2:17-18

19 But when Sanballat the Horonite

and Tobiah the Ammonite servant

and Geshem the Arab heard of it,

they jeered at us and despised us

and said, "What is this thing that you

are doing? Are you rebelling against

the king?"

NEHEMIAH 2:19-20

20 Then I replied to them,

"The God of heaven will make us

prosper, and we his servants will

arise and build..."

NEHEMIAH 2:19-20

“Somebody has to do something –

Might as well be me.” “Start doing

what’s necessary, then what’s

possible, then suddenly you are

doing the impossible.”

• Start small

• Take next step

• Build the wall in
