Nehemiah 2

Artaxerxes Sends Nehemiah to Jerusalem
1In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before;
Nehemiah begins to get others involved in rebuilding Jerusalem. He doesn't rush in but uses the opportunities God gives him and prays. He is confident that God's hand is on him and that God will give him what he needs. As he prays, talks and plans he manages to get others to help him, first the King and then people back in Isreal. They still meet with opposition, but a confident that God is with them. May I react as well to the difficulties and problems in this world that confront me. And may I share Nehemiah's confidence that when I act for God, he is with me.

Nehemiah sees a situation and decides to act. He doesn't moan, or criticize but prays and then does something - he becomes a solution. His assessment of the situation in Jerusalem could describe life for many today - "the walls are broken and the gates have burned down". How will I react when I see evidence of brokeness today? Do I pray and act positively or allow myself to remain part of the problem?
