Re:Verse passage – Nehemiah 1:4–11 (day two) When I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven. v. 4
We will discover over the course of the next several weeks that Nehemiah was a man of action. He was true to his word, and he followed through on his task. That is not to say, however, that Nehemiah was hasty. He was deliberate and thoughtful about the incredible work that had to be done. He was humbled, and he was heart broken. Rather than spring in to action. He took time to grieve and wait. How often have we done the exact opposite? If you are anxious to get something done, your first instinct may be to get to work immediately. If you are emotionally distressed, you may make rash choices about your situation. We can learn from Nehemiah in these times of great decisions. Wait, process, and pray.
