"Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), 'How long will your journey be? And when will you return?' So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time." Nehemiah 2:6
Nehemiah couldn't imagine sitting still when he heard the walls of Jerusalem lay in shambles. He had to act. Of all the things a leader should fear, complacency ought to head the list. Leaders don't know everything, but they know enough to act. Nehemiah had insight into the following areas:
1. He knew how long the project would take. Nehemiah gave King Artaxerxes a definite time period for his absence.
2. He knew how to get there. Nehemiah asked for letters of permission to pass through the provinces beyond the river to Judah.
3. He knew what he would need to get the job done. Nehemiah requested timbers from Asaph to make beams and gates for the wall.
4. He knew that God's hand was upon him. Nehemiah got all that he requested because the hand of God rested on him.
What is your intuition telling you right now? Are you listening?
