Recently, my personal study has taken me to the book of Nehemiah. I am currently on my fourth read of this amazing book. I can't seem to get enough of it. Every time I read through it I gain new insights.
In my opinion, Nehemiah probably has more practical application for the church today than any single Old Testament book. It is a "how to" for unity, commitment, direction and overcoming.
As a "young whippersnapper" who thinks he can run right in and change things, this study has caused me to slow down. It has helped me realize that we have to come together as a body to build. The walls and gates did not fall down overnight and they will not be rebuilt overnight. It requires patience, love, understanding and above all reliance on God.
If you have not already, take a walk through Nehemiah. This lesson of old has great application for the church of today.
