Planning Like Nehemiah|Step 2
Assess Thoroughly
The Old Testament leader, Nehemiah, needed to fully understand the circumstances of the project he was about to undertake. Initially, he was not physically in Jerusalem, so his early assessment was made from discussions he had with people who saw first-hand the destruction and were knowledgeable about the current state of the walls and gates. Once on site, he spent three evenings personally examining the damage to the wall and the gates before rebuilding.
In Nehemiah 2:13 we read, “So I went out at night …, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were consumed by fire.”
For our plans to be effective and complete, we need to invest time up front—thoroughly assessing the project we are about to undertake.

About this Plan
Most would agree that planning is an important process to be used in our workplaces, but one that is often condensed or sometimes ignored. This 7-part series will examine how Nehemiah harnessed the discipline of planning to successfully rebuild Jerusalem’s walls. His practical and wise seven-step process is one that we can use today.
