He inspires

In reality, not everyone can inspire others to do something, to fight for something, to change their behavior or their way of thinking; needless to say when we refer to a large crowd.

Inspiring someone is motivating or stimulating a feeling, creativity or a desire, and that's what Nehemiah succeeded to do.

He managed to instil the desire to rebuild the city among the people of Israel. So, he encouraged people, he inspired them to work and not accept to be the ignominy.

With his disposition and determination, he convinced everyone to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Have you been that person who inspires others? Or have you been the one who always has something negative to say, a word of discouragement, a word of criticism?

People need to be inspired or influenced to constructive things that edify, but there’s a need for people to inspire them. God is counting on us to do that work, just as He counted on Nehemiah.

Maybe you don't even inspire others, nor are you influenced by positive  things that will bring you benefits, since you already see things in a negative way. Or you think that you are unable to handle it, it won’t work. All these thoughts put you down and prevent you from taking action and making the difference.

Don't be scared! The people of Israel also had many enemies, but they were willing to do something for themselves and they succeeded. Indeed, they needed a man who would inspire them, for no one among the multitude would take action or would have the courage to take the first step.

And what about you, have you been an inspiration to someone?
