September 28th: The Legacy of a Leader.

"The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, and all who have separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, all who have knowledge and understanding, join with their brothers, their nobles, and enter into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law that was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord and his rules and his statutes.”  -Nehemiah 10:28-29.

Nehemiah's leadership wasn't just about building the walls of the city: it was about creating a community of people dedicated to living in covenant relationship with God.  The legacy of a leader is to get to see God's kingdom come and God's will be done in their lives and to know that that their lives send out ripples that change other lives.
