Read: Nehemiah 2
Nehemiah makes his request of the king and is sent to Jerusalem. When he arrives there, he makes a careful study of the condition of the walls and begins to rally support for building the walls. Nehemiah is not only a great example of prayer, he is also a great example of leadership. Too often people rush into solving a problem before it is understood. We will continue to see Nehemiah’s wisdom in leadership in the remainder of his story.
