My life is full of so many situations where I was so excited that I beat God to the punch. It's only with a little hindsight that I find out that God may have had something better in store for me. The thing was I did not want to wait.
In working our way through the book of Nehemiah, I have found a new hero. Here is a godly man who was willing to patiently pray and fast waiting on God. Yet at the right time he brought an audacious request the king. What a combination, Nehemiah was bold and courageous, but also patient and humble.
I pray that God would grow in me the kind of discerning spirit that knows when to wait on the Lord and when to go with God.
