He's Only A Man… You are God
A peek into Nehemiah 1 and 2
Nehemiah's heart was stirred and moved to pray, ask and act on the news that his people were in great distress and a reproach among all the world. Their walls and gates were down and they were open to any and all to take advantage of them, as they pleased. He was grieved, burdened, heavy hearted, thankful and committed to seek God and pray for His solutions to the vulnerability of his brethren. God showed up and lavished Nehemiah with favor and equipped this simple and unknown cupbearer with grace and an uncommon ability to lead and guide His people, with much grace and grit. It's obvious, by the narrative, that our Nehemiah was a praying man... which deeply affected his priorities, principles, purpose, passion, practices and praise...
…Show me mercy and favor in the sight of this man…" Nehemiah 1
The right people, in the right place, with the right promises, to deal with the right problems — for the glory of God and the good of His people.
