Nehemiah Episode 4

It is very informative to watch how Nehemiah goes about things in this new season.

He catches his breath. He does not do anything for three days. Rest and reset are important. The whole idea of recreation is being recreated in the image of God. God has ordained rhythms of rest and work, night and day, sleep and activity.

He explores the ground. He needs to see for himself what the situation is. 
This is missiology. He seeks to understand the context and the nature of the challenge. 

He casts Vision and calls to action. The call to action is an invitation.

He faces ridicule and prepares for battle. The quickening of the work, results in an escalation of the opposition.
