Nehemiah knew exactly where to go in order to prepare for what he was going to do. This was so wise. We need to be well prepared too. It was obvious that Nehemiah had to make his own observations, then he could make good decisions. It is the same for us. Being irresponsible is not a part of "Living By Faith."
