When God moves in power, it has nothing to do with our own ideas of power structures and what they look like. In fact, when God moves in power, it has everything to do with elevating the powerless and meeting the needs of the marginalized and oppressed, so that they can be free too. One of our most important callings as followers of Jesus is to carry on his work of caring for the oppressed—this was one of Nehemiah’s most important contributions in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.
