Nehemiah had vision! The vision God gave to him was rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. Many times he was confronted with people and situations that would try and distract or prevent him from fulfilling his vision, but his response in Chapter 6, verse 3 gives us a hint at his focus and determination.
"I'm doing a great work. I cannot come down."
Have you ever noticed how often we're presented with opportunities while we're in the middle of accomplishing our God-given vision? They range from opportunities for new jobs, careers, relationships, churches and even new ministries. If these new opportunities help you accomplish your vision, say, "Yes!" If they hinder your ability to stay focused on your vision, simply say what Nehemiah did, "I'm doing a great work. I cannot come down."
