MARCHING ON: Nehemiah - Defining Moments (pt 2)

When Divine Opportunity knocks, God is calling you to do something that your fear does not want you to do.  Some time (4 months?) has passed since Nehemiah felt a calling by God to help his people by rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. (see 3-3-19 Marching On-The Nehemiah Call (Part 1)). During this time, Nehemiah's heart was being convicted (what needed to be done), a decision was made, a vision of what the end result would consist of was materializing, he was developing a plan and God was preparing him (as His servant).  This is how God prepares His leaders for defining moments.  This is a pattern we can follow as a follower Almighty God.
