Sometimes we get discouraged and are tempted to give up when things don't go according to our plan. But what makes some people to keep going despite difficulties and setbacks? Feeling passionately about an issue and caring enough to act. Nehemiah was a man who cared enough to do something about a bad situation. He cared about the safety of God’s people as well as God’s reputation throughout the surrounding nations. God delights in people who care enough to ask, pray, and act, supplying them with what they need to obey His commands.
