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 3: Boldness Requires Vision and Planning

Nehemiah didn’t wing it. When the king asked what he needed, Nehemiah laid out a thoughtful, detailed plan. He asked for time off, letters of protection, and timber to rebuild. His request was bold, but it wasn’t careless. It was rooted in prayer and backed by preparation.

Too often we confuse faith with spontaneity, but Scripture shows us that good stewardship and big vision go hand in hand. Planning doesn’t mean you’re not trusting God. It means you’re ready when He opens the door.

Scripture:
Nehemiah 2:5–8 (ESV)

Reflection:
What bold vision or plan has God placed on your heart? What practical step can you take today to prepare for it?
