Powerful Pathways Series

Taking Care Of What God Has Given Us

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 28, 2020

God is not only concerned with what is created, he is concerned with how we take care of what was created. Nehemiah began moving from the building project itself, to taking the necessary steps to insure that what was built (or created) would be protected and preserved.
