Leading By Example - Nehemiah

A temptation of every leader is to abuse the power and privilege he has been given. This was true for every governor that came before Nehemiah. But he was different because of his fear of the Lord. Instead of ripping off the people, Nehemiah did just the opposite by bountifully providing at his table a daily provision for up to 150 people. Additionally, he did not demand his rightful provision as governor. Nehemiah we are told led by example.
