Action – “Don’t just say you will do something, DO IT!”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 5:6-11

Someone has to do something in order to correct things that just don’t seem right, but it takes an incredible amount of courage to take action.  Sometimes, it’s because we don’t prioritize and other times because we are just not paying attention.  Nehemiah knows full well the complication of dealing with problems “in house.”  Who in my life do I need to take action and fight for so my testimony can go forward?  Scripture says they will know us by our love for one another.  Who do I need to reach out to with love in order to ensure that we keep unity in our faith, in our church, and in our group?  Is there anyone you feel has wronged you?  Confront the grievance with gentleness.  The distance between your intentions and your implementation is the measure of your integrity.

Watch Week 4 of Relaunch:  “Striving  For Unity” Here:

The more you love others, the more you leave your pride.  There is no place for pride when working on a high performance team.  The people are pulling together to rebuild the wall amidst the opposition, and they are learning how to be absolutely unified.  In order to strive for unity we must rely on the power of God, remain alert, and rally to the needs of others.
