Nehemiah goes back to Babylon/Assyria and returns to find that this new community he has instituted has already decayed. In his absence things just turned back to old patterns.
As a leader this passage makes me tired. Won’t people ever get it. It seems that they will always need a leader. Why does this make me tired? Why internally do I feel a fatigue that I have to lead until I die!
It seems that I so easily slip into “flesh/Roy powered” mode and out of “spirit?God powered” mode. This causes the fatigue. Somehow I take it own myself to be responsible. I am not sure what the internal dynamic is but a slight move in where I place my trust leads to a huge emotional drain.
I love to lead yet this internal switch just starts to drain me. I need to understand it more. What is it that does this in me?
