The Shaping of the Soul: Burden as impetus
And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me. (Neh 2:8c)
You and I know that before Nehemiah received what he had asked of the king, he did a series of things:
He wept, he fasted, he mourned, and he prayed..... then he received.
This was how God shaped Nehemiah's heart to receive the reward that was promised him. And this is how God shapes us. No matter where you where you are, whether you are weeping, fasting, mourning or praying, the good hand of the Lord will provide just what you need, and just when you need it.
This is our time. This is our season. The good hand of the Lord is upon us.
Watch and pray. Watch God work. Stay in thanksgiving. Keep your Rule of Life.
Stay girded with the full armor of God.
If you are in need of prayer, please call. If you are in need of help, please call. We are inspired to deliver. Many blessings on your day!
