Who hasn’t had an imperfect supervisor, manager, teacher, or coach? Nehemiah knew that, even though God was the ultimate authority, he served under a pagan king. Nehemiah wanted nothing more than to return to Jerusalem, but he served under the difficult King Artaxerxes. So how did Nehemiah ultimately get the king to yield to his request? Prayer and patience. Take heart as Pastor Chuck Swindoll demonstrates through Nehemiah 2:1–11 that, even though someone else calls the shots, God is still in charge!

Many Christians wrongly believe that they are doomed to failure—that some temptations simply are too strong to resist. But as believers, we don’t have to give in! In Romans 6:5–14, the apostle Paul told Christians that since they were saved by grace, they could now live by grace. The same power that saved them could also change them from the inside out. Instill these truths in your heart today as you listen to Pastor Chuck Swindoll. Embrace the reality that you can live free from sin by God’s grace.
