Responsive Nehemiah- He feels convinced to do something. A desire to
do something from his time of prayer and in response to the news he has
received—he feels called to
do something. A deep persuasion, a calling to respond in a specific way is
growing in his heart. He feels a sense of responsibility growing in his heart.
Look at his prayer in the end. “Give me success today and make the emperor
merciful to me.” He so identifies with the issue, that he feels like he
wants to respond in a specific way. Such a heart is given by the Lord. And those who accomplish something significant
are those who God brings to a place where life is not the same, as long as the
status quo continues. For me, I know, that when I learned that many of the
believers especially campus students are living an insecure life- in spite of
the promises given to them by God in his word, Life could not continue being
the same, God helped me to take personal responsibility—so identified with the
issue, that such a prayer would proceed from my mouth… Oh God, give me success
today in the sight of my partners… in the sight of my parents--- in the sight
of my friends, and before the panel of interviewers at LMK. When God calls you, then you realize you are
working in a context that requires peoples favor. Vs 11.
