Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

Nehemiah dreamed of rebuilding Jerusalem after it had been mostly rubble for over 140 years. This week we will examine 5 key steps Nehemiah took that paved the way for his team’s amazing success. 

The first step is “Prayerfully Assessing the Situation.” When Nehemiah learned that Jerusalem was in ruins his heart broke.  

He prayed for 4 months, leading to the king’s blessing on his desired project. Nehemiah, then, went to Jerusalem and quietly assessed the damage for three days, before taking action. 

In Nehemiah 2:13 we read, “So I went out at night … inspecting the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were consumed by fire.” 

If you desire your new project, or your team, to be successful, start by praying, then objectively assess the situation.
