God put Nehemiah in Susa just as He had put Esther there a generation before, and just as He had put Joseph in Egypt and Daniel in Babylon.
When God wants to accomplish a work, He always prepares His workers and puts them in the right places at the right time.
Have a Passion for People
Nehemiah whose name means “Jehovah comforts” or “The Lord has comforted.”
shows concern about the people of God.
A cupbearer was much more than our modern “butler” (see ).
It was a position of great responsibility and privilege.
At each meal, he tested the king’s wine to make sure it wasn’t poisoned.
A man who stood that close to the king in public had to be handsome, cultured, knowledgeable in court procedures, and able to converse with the king and advise him if asked (see 41:1–13).
Because he had access to the king, the cupbearer was a man of great influence, which he could use for good or for evil.
That Nehemiah, a Jew, held such an important position in the palace speaks well of his character and ability
No doubt it was just another routine day when Nehemiah met his brother Hanani (see ), who had just returned from a visit to Jerusalem, but it turned out to be a turning point in Nehemiah’s life.
Like large doors, great life-changing events can swing on very small hinges.
Nehemiah was just an ordinary man, he wasn't a priest like Aaron, wasn't a prophet like Daniel, He wasn't a would be King like David he was just an “Ordinary Guy”
Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.
C.S. Lewis
No miracles in this book , No raising of the dead
Just a day to day grind of the people of God.
It was just another day when Moses went out to care for his sheep, but on that day he heard the Lord’s call and became a prophet ().
It was an ordinary day when David was called home from shepherding his flock; but on that day, he was anointed king ().
It was an ordinary day when Peter, Andrew, James, and John were mending their nets after a night of failure; but that was the day Jesus called them to become fishers of men ().
You never know what God has in store, even in a commonplace conversation with a friend or relative; so keep your heart open to God’s providential leading.
I attended a birthday party one evening when I was nineteen years old, and a statement made to me there by a friend helped direct my life into the plans God had for me; and I will be forever grateful.
God gives you the burden before he gives you the budget.
Our 5th Core Value is that we are Committed to Discovering Purpose.
Why would Nehemiah inquire about a struggling remnant of people who lived hundreds of miles away?
After all, he was the king’s cupbearer and he was successfuly secure in his own life.
Certainly it wasn’t his fault that his ancestors had sinned against the Lord and brought judgment to the city of Jerusalem and the kingdom of Judah.
Nehemiah was the man God had chosen to do those very things!
Some people prefer not to know what’s going on, because information might bring obligation.
Nehemiah asked about Jerusalem and the Jews living there because he had a caring heart.
When we truly care about people, we want the facts, no matter how painful they may be.
What did Nehemiah learn about Jerusalem and the Jews?
Three words summarize the bad news: remnant, ruin, and reproach.
Instead of a land inhabited by a great nation, only a remnant of people lived there; and they were in great affliction and struggling to survive.
Instead of a magnificent city, Jerusalem was in shambles; and where there had once been great glory, there was now nothing but great reproach.
1:2 Hanani.
Apparently a sibling of Nehemiah (cf.
7:2), he had gone to Jerusalem in the second return under Ezra’s leadership (ca.
458 B.C.).
Jews … Jerusalem.
Nehemiah was deeply concerned about the people and the city, especially during the previous 13 years, since the second return under Ezra (458 B.C.).
Nehemiah was a man of constant prayer as can be seen in the fourteen recorded prayers in the short book of Nehemiah.
Before he set out on the project, Nehemiah prayed.
When he approached the king, he prayed.
When he was in trouble, he prayed.

Have a Passion For Prayer
The report instantly depressed Nehemiah.
It pertained to his people and their land.
Prayer internalizes the burden, deeping our ownership of the need.
The Jews in Judah (a province of Persia) were greatly troubled and disgraced, and Jerusalem’s wall was broken down and its gates had been burned.
This left the city defenseless against enemy attacks.
The people had been rebuilding the walls () but were stopped by Artaxerxes who was pressured by some Samaritans and Rehum, the commanding officer, who may have been a Persian responsible to Artaxerxes ().
People with a Passion to build act from a deep sense of responsibility.
1. Praying concertizes your assignment, it deepens your ownership of the burden.
How Burdened are you if you never pray about it ?
2. Prayer insist that we quit our mouths and hearts, to slow us down so that we can hear from God.
3. Prayer enlightens us so that we can see what God desires us to see.
4. Prayer raises our spiritual awareness and increases our sensitivity to the prompting of the Holy Spirit
