Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build
Don't worry about logistics, as long as we keep building, God will do the rest.
Nehemiah 2:17-18~
(17) Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we [are] in, how Jerusalem [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. (18) Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good [work].
When Nehemiah reminded the people of all the good things that God had done for them, the people shifted their mind-set and became ready to work. They strengthened themselves.
Nehemiah 4:6~
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
I've noticed recently that I can do a lot for my church. I used to have this mentality that when I got older, then I would become more responsible. It turns out that I was wrong... who knew? loll
We have to stop being lazy and make an effort to bring change (for the better)
