Nehemiah: Brick by Brick
Nehemiah: Brick by Brick
Sometimes life feels too broken to fix. But the story of Nehemiah shows us that with God, restoration is always possible.
In our series Brick by Brick, we’ll follow Nehemiah’s journey from heartbreak to hope as he leads the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls. It all started with one man’s burden, a prayer, and a step of faith.
Each week, we’ll explore what God rebuilt through Nehemiah—and what He might want to restore in us. This isn’t just about ancient ruins. It’s about reclaiming faith, renewing purpose, and rebuilding what’s been broken in our lives and in our church.
No matter where you are, you’re invited to join the journey. Let’s see what God wants to build brick by brick.
Day 2: Waiting on God’s Timing
In our fast-paced world, waiting feels like doing nothing. But Nehemiah’s four-month wait was anything but passive. He prayed, fasted, and listened for God’s timing. And when the right moment came, he was ready.
God does some of His best work in the waiting. He shapes our hearts, strengthens our faith, and aligns our steps with His plan. If it feels like God is slow to move, remember that He is always on time. Our job is to trust Him in the meantime.
Scripture:
Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Reflection:
Where in your life do you find it hardest to wait on God? How can you practice trusting His timing this week?
