God's Plan - Accept It!
The plan was in place and now it was time to communicate it to the required listeners. Would they accept it, reject it, or ignore it? Human behavior is unpredictable at times and this was a watershed moment.
Nehemiah was prepared to inform the “Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest who were to do the work.” Everyone, regardless of their stature, rank, or status, was informed of the plan, and we read that they readily accepted it! Immediately they went to labour each one taking a portion of the wall and reconstructing it. Even family members joined in (Shallum’s daughters)!
Their hearts and minds were one and by God’s grace and power they collectively achieved their goal. This was God’s doing and not like the Tower of Babel’s building project. Consider yourself if you were there – would you readily take part in the task at hand?
Prayer: Lord, let us do the work in your kingdom and Church that needs to be done. Let me do it with all my heart, strength, and ability in order that you be glorified. Let me acknowledge you first and consider my fellow believers before myself. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

About this Plan
Moses prayed and pleaded with God in the wilderness to preserve his own name and character and not destroy Israel. As leaders, we must learn prayer covering and intercession for God's people. This 28-day reading plan will inspire you as you pray and intercede for others so that they truly have a revelation of God’s love.
