Nehemiah: Episode 3
Timing is everything. One of my recurrent prayers is that I would be in the right place at the right time with the right heart, with the right words for the right people.
Nehemiah decides that this day in the month of Nisan will be when he takes the risk of talking to the king. He is a servant and although he has access to the king his position is precarious and he is fearful of losing his position, his freedom or even his life.
He repurposes a situation to turn it into an opportunity. What is interesting is that he leads with emotion rather than words. He lowers his guard and allows the king to see how he feels
If we take one thing from this passage into our daily life I suggest it might be “Pause to Pray”.
God answers prayer. It is the norm rather than the exception. Prayer is more like putting money in the bank than buying a lottery ticket.
So for me the crux of this is to remember that God is bigger than the biggest challenge I can face, That the opposite of faith is not doubt it is fear and that God can do more in and through my weakness than I can hope for or imagine.
