Are we moved yet
On Sunday I'm preaching about Nehemiah. He was so distressed about what had happened to his people & his city that the bible says he wept, mourned, fasted, & prayed to God. As I was studying this passage, it made me wonder if any of us ever get to that point with what's going on around us. You see Nehemiah was moved to action & God blessed it. He didn't just get upset, complain, & then say that there was nothing he could do about it. Sometimes I think that's what we do. Have we been moved to prayer for our family, church, & country? Have we been moved to share Christs love with others? Have we been moved to meet a need in someone's life? Or are we hoping someone else will do those things? Maybe we think we're too small to make a difference? Nehemiah only needed God. Is it possible that if we followed Nehemiah's example that God would move like that today? I think He would love to do that. My challenge for today is if God has moved you to do something, don't think about how small you are but instead think about how big God is, & do it. Be courageous, step forward, & follow God! If you will do that, God will do great things through you!
