Then I looked over the situation, I called together the leaders and the people and said to them, "Don't be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord who is great and glorious, and fight for your friends, your families, and your homes." (Nehemiah 4:14 NLT)
Lessons from Nehemiah: Ten actions steps when the task before you is bigger than you.
1. Pray first.
2. Answer the call.
3. Take the first step.
4. Do your complaining to God.
5. Use common sense.
6. God-size your problems.

Today's meditation:
- To God-size a problem, you have to see it from God's perspective. "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Genesis 18:14).
Pray today:
- For vision that sees every human challenge through the lens of God's almighty power and through our relationship as his children who are greatly loved.
- For fearlessness, that whether we are ordered to stand still or to fight, we obey knowing that we are in his care.
- For mental and emotional stamina growing from an ever-increasing confidence in our great and glorious Lord.
Pray First! Pray Through!
