Gods help is not a substitute for human faith
and action.

• Is there any doubt that God could have sent an
  angel to miraculously raise Jerusalems broken
  walls?
• But Gods people needed the blessing of
  believing, working, and building. No faithful
  effort no heavenly help!

10
Gods help makes possible what may be seen as
humanly impossible.

• There were certain things Nehemiah couldnt do or
  supply.
• God did and provided everything that Nehemiah
  needed!

11
Gods help can shape the most powerful people and
forces in this world.

• In order to supply Nehemiahs need, God
  influenced in some way the most powerful man on
  the earth!
• Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His
  hand (Is. 4012)

12
We need not know Gods modus operandi in order to
believe that He can answer our prayers.

• It is more important to know that God answers
  prayer than to know how He answers prayer!

13
We have to learn to pray. and wait for Gods
answer!

• Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the
  world (Mt. 2820).
• Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking
  and do not be silent. For I am with you (Ac.
  189-10).
