Re:Verse passage – Nehemiah 2:11-20 (day six)
As far as we know, Nehemiah never received a direct word from God instructing him to journey to Jerusalem and lead the rebuilding effort. But he knew God’s promises. And he certainly knew the story of Queen Esther.
During four months of fasting and praying, it may have dawned on him, just as it did for Esther (with Mordecai’s help), that perhaps God had placed him in his position for such a time as this. His kingdom prayer gave way to kingdom action.
That makes me wonder:
Are my actions limited by the scope of my prayers?
What might God do in and through us if we believed His promises like Nehemiah did—and boldly widened the reach of our prayers?
Will you join me?
