Build And Defend
We love the idea of building.
The thrill of starting something new. The excitement of vision, calling, purpose. The sense that we’re participating in something bigger than ourselves.
But what happens when opposition shows up?
What happens when the enemy sees what you're building and decides it’s worth tearing down?
Most people hesitate. They assume that if an idea is truly from God, it shouldn’t require a fight.
Nehemiah knew better.
Revival Begins at Home
In Nehemiah 3, as the walls of Jerusalem were being rebuilt, the workers weren’t assigned random sections of the city. They built opposite their own homes.
Their own neighborhoods.
Their own streets.
Their own front doors.
Why?
Because before you build anything significant, before you restore what’s broken in the world, you have to secure what’s happening in your own home.
Nehemiah’s people understood something we often forget: a city isn’t strong if its families are weak.
