IT IS GOD'S WORK 2

Nehemiah 6:15-16 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 16)And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

GOD'S WORK SHOULD BEGIN WITH PRAYER
Nehemiah 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven
Before Nehemiah started anything he prayed. He made sure that the work was of God. He prayed before he planned.
Many times when we decide to do something we form a committee, make plans, put the plans into action and then we finally decide to ask God to bless what we are doing. I believe in doing God's work that it is essential to do a lot of praying before beginning. Naturally there are some things that we automatically know we are to do. We are to love, we are to give, we are to help others, we are to witness in all situations.
Sometimes God's work is more involved than just doing the everyday things. When a man is called to preach he has some big decisions to make in his life. These decisions had better be made after much prayer. When a church starts a new program or a new ministry the praying should have started a long time before the actual planning.
If we are doing God's work, doesn't it make sense that we should consult Him on what He wants done and how He wants us to do it?
