Do people ever learn? Why does history repeat itself? Does anyone finish well in leadership without blowing up their lives first?

We close the study of Nehemiah with three life principles -- two are sobering; one is encouraging.

1. Leadership matters. It's not enough for people to have the right credentials; they need the right heart.
2. Systems and structures don't keep people on the right track. People do. Primarily leaders.
3. It is possible for leaders to remain fully engaged over the long haul and not blow up their lives.

Nehemiah is a powerful book on leadership and faithfulness -- whether leading one's self, in obscurity, or in a very public eye. The last chapter isn't a "...and they lived happily ever after" ending. It's a reminder about the tendencies of people and the importance of living with intention and devotion.
