"In the Old Testament, we read about a man named Nehemiah. He wasn't a prophet or a great leader when God called him to rebuild the wall that had once stood firmly around the city of Jerusalem. He was a simple cupbearer, a servant to the king.
The Israelites, God's chosen people, spent hundreds of years going back and forth between following God and worshipping idols. They would sin and then turn back to God in repentance. This happened repeatedly.
Nehemiah was concerned for Jerusalem and the Jews who were living in an unprotected city. Without massive walls, the city was vulnerable to attacks. Nehemiah was troubled to the point of action. With the blessing of the king, he traveled to Jerusalem and met with Jewish leaders who agreed to support him in rebuilding the wall.
