Follow Your Burden

For the past few weeks I have been studying the book of Nehemiah. Here is an ordinary guy that God put a huge burden on his heart. Nehemiah got some bad news from his brother about his homeland and it broke his heart. When he heard the news he sat down to cry, he knelt down to pray then he stood up to act.

There have been times in my life when I believed that God wanted me to do something, times when I had a major burden. The problem was everywhere I turned people said, No! When you have a burden from God, don’t let anyone take it away from you.

Like Nehemiah, take time to pray and then move to action. And remember, God specializes in using ordinary people to His work.
