Nehemiah Devotional - May 1

Taking the First Step

Read: Nehemiah 2

Key Verse: Nehemiah 2:17 – “Then I said to them, ‘You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.’”

Inductive Questions:
• What do you observe about Nehemiah’s leadership and how he communicates the vision?
• Why is it important to acknowledge the reality of a situation before acting?
• What first step is God asking you to take in a situation that needs rebuilding?

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, give me the courage to take the first step in obedience. Help me to see clearly what needs to be done and to trust You in the process. I pray humbly in Jesus’ name, Amen.
