When the world around us is a mess…

When our world is a mess…

When we’ve made a mess…

It seems like there’s little hope for a future, like it’s not worth working toward a brighter tomorrow.

But God…

You might be striving forward, but God is working backward – working all things for good. He’s doing something better in and through you than just “good enough.” You don’t have to keep striving. You can thrive! And if you thrive, your world will flourish. The best is yet to come!

In 444 BC, Nehemiah was comfortable, living in the palace, serving in the king’s court. But back home, things were a mess. And this news drove him to tears and to action. God gave him a burden to make a difference. He got involved. God gave him favor and strength, and he led his people to rebuild their city.

There are principles from the life and leadership of Nehemiah that you can apply personally in order to turn your striving into thriving. Discover that God’s best is yet to come, not just for you but for those around you.
