I. Nehemiah Waited For God’s Timing (2:1)
Chapter 1 sets the time as "the month of Kislev".
Kislev would be the months of Nov.-Dec. on our calendars.
Chapter 2 sets the time as "the month of Nisan" which would be our Mar.-Apr.
In other words, Nehemiah waited four months for an answer to come from God.
II. Nehemiah Took A Risk (2:1-2)
III. Nehemiah’s Fear Was Overcome By His Concern (2:3)
IV. Nehemiah Had A Vision That Was Greater Than Himself (2:4-8a)
V. Nehemiah Recognized It Was God’s Grace And Power In Him (2:8b)
