What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do
Nehemiah was a cup bearer for the King of Babylon. He was used by God to help the people of Israel. Nehemiah took the trouble of the Israelites personally, and showed us that where man is weak, God is powerful. He fasted and prayed, and God used him for great things.

Jesus Brings Real Joy and Rest
In chapter 5, Jesus declares Himself to be the Bridegroom after the Pharisees asked him why His disciples don't fast. People aren't sad at weddings but are joyous! Jesus brings real joy because He is the Bridegroom. We can only find real joy in Him. He told the Pharisees a parable about old and new things (v. 36-39). Jesus is the new, and some people (the Pharisees, teachers of the law, etc.) prefer the old - the old covenant and the additions to the covenant. In chapter 6, Jesus lives this new wine principle out. He proclaims that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Only Jesus brings real rest, and we must find our rest in Him alone.

Requirements for Barrier Breaking
In oreder to breakdown barriers, we need to be devout and God-fearing. God-fearing means having respect for God and not just living to please yourself. We also need to be givers and people of prayer and fasting if we would like to see barriers broken down. The final key to breaking down barriers is obedience. Barriers tell us that we need the power of God in our lives.

God's Vision for My Life
What happens when your plan for your life collides with God's plan/vision for your life? Someone must prevail, there cannot be two opposing visions living in harmony. In this amazing book of Nehemiah God will teach us to submit our plans and our lives to his vision for our lives. The process of submitting involves a lot of prayer and is harder than it sounds. May the Lord reveal his vision for us and may we respond to it appropriately.
