God has called His people to be builders. What an example Nehemiah is as he returns to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. His "so" statements show how God used him:
"So I prayed" -- "So I came to Jerusalem" -- "So they strengthened their hands for this good work" -- "So built we the wall" -- "So we labored in the work" -- "So the wall was finished".
Were it not for determination that came from his faith in a great God, Nehemiah would never have finished the work.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Do you have a burden in your heart for the work God has called you to do?
