Passage: Nehemiah 7:5-73
Summary
We can work hard to rebuild areas of our lives—our careers, families, and even churches—but if worship and devotion to God aren’t at the center, we’re just building empty structures. True restoration happens when we align our hearts with God and make Him the foundation of everything we do.
