Grace for your spirit February 4, 2009

O Lord, I beseech You, may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere Your name, and make Your servant successful today and grant him compassion before this man " Now I was the cupbearer to the king. Nehemiah 1:11

How can we know that Nehemiah delighted and revered the name of God in his life? When Nehemiah was faced with a tremendous adversity far beyond his ability, he immediately turned to God. As cupbearer for a ruthless king, Nehemiah could not see the way clear to help the people far away in Jerusalem. After he spent four months in prayer, God made the way, showed him the way, and put him in that way. When we delight in God with that kind of commitment, He will give us success too. Don’t quit too soon.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
