The Narrow Way

When Nehemiah finished the wall,
he didn’t settle in and say, “We’re done.”
He appointed gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
Why?
Because the wall was never the final goal
it was preparation for what came next.

Your rebuild was never meant to be the whole story.
It was meant to position you for assignment.

Isaiah 61:4 says,
“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.”
Notice, those who rebuild don’t just stay behind the wall.
They go out and rebuild other places too.

When God calls you into your next assignment,
you might feel like you’re starting over
but you’re not starting from scratch.
You’re starting from strength.

The skills you learned in the rebuilding
perseverance, prayer, discernment, faith
are the very tools you’ll carry into this next mission.

The enemy would love for you to linger in comfort.
To keep admiring the walls.
To keep rehearsing the story of how far you’ve come.
But the Kingdom is always moving forward.
And the God who rebuilt you
now wants to release you.

So don’t be afraid to step into the new field,
the new calling,
the new territory.
Your story of restoration is about to become someone else’s blueprint for hope.

And when you walk into your next assignment,
you’ll know
you didn’t just survive.
You were prepared.
