Career Transitions―Plan and Prepare

As we continue Nehemiah’s career transition, we find insights that may be helpful to us today. The third phase of Nehemiah’s transition was, preparation and planning.

When God provided the opportunity for Nehemiah to speak to the king about his passion for Jerusalem, Nehemiah was prepared.

In Nehemiah 2:7 we read, “...If it please the king, let letters be given me for the governors of the provinces beyond the River, that they may allow me to pass through until I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber…”

As you work through a career transition, spend time thinking strategically and be prepared for the God-given opportunities that are before you.  (For more on planning, refer to the YouVersion plan, “Planning Like Nehemiah.”)
