I find it cool that on Labor Day I would start the book of Nehemiah in my reading. There was a job that needed to be done and Nehemiah's heart was set on doing it but he couldn't do it alone. He asked God for direction and for God's favor first and foremost! After receiving God's wisdom, there were 8 questions in chapter 2 that Nehemiah needed to answer to get the task done. I believe these questions can help us accomplish our tasks, as well.
1. What is it that you want?
2. Why do you want it?
3. When? Set a time to get it done.
4. What will you need?
5. What needs to be done...survey the situation.
6. Who will help you?
7. Do you believe it can be done?
8. Will you give the glory to God?
Of course there are elaborations on these but if we apply these principles in whatever God has called us to do, we will find that the work will progress and be successful. Happy Labor Day, friends.
