Reflecting on the past will help us to foresee the future. As the New Year is coming, have you made a resolution for yourself based on your yearly review?

Nehemiah Was a Team-Player Who Empowered the People. He recognised that people were important and were appreciable assets.  Without their cooperation, city walls could not and would not be built. Hence, he valued them and enlisted their help - sometimes outside the family of God (cf. 2:1-9).  He mobilized and motivated them - "Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and suffer derision no more... and they set about their work vigorously and to good purpose " (2:17, 18).
