Hello Everyone,

Leaders know how to share their vision. When the time is right, they know how to get people on board.

Neh. 2:17a Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire.

He pointed out what was right before their eyes. They saw it but they didn't see it. They had grown so accustomed to it that they needed their vision restored for how things were supposed to be. Worse, they had accepted that things couldn't be different.

2:17b "let US" - "and WE"

No matter how great a man Nehemiah was he knew he couldn't do this job himself. There is strength in numbers and he would need a lot of help.

1 Corinthians 3:9a For we are laborers’ together with God:

When God's people work together we can accomplish so much.

Geese fly in a V formation. And one side is always longer than the other. Know why? There's more geese on that side! Seriously, it's because the lead goose is splitting the air, cutting the wind, making it easier for the others, and when he gets tired he falls back and another takes the lead. People smarter than me have determined that geese can fly 72% further that way than any one of them could have by themselves.

God programmed that into nature, and He wants us to operate that way too.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
