Heart for Jerusalem
Nehemiah 2:12
I set out during the night with a few men. I had not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no mounts with me except the one I was riding on.
Nehemiah's night ride into Jerusalem. Picture the scene. Moon and stars shed a pitiless white light with harsh black shadows on the broken stone and burned gates. Though Nehemiah has his posse, he hasn't shared his heart for Jerusalem. Only after he has seen it does he speak of God's hand and the king's favor.
In a perfect case of God's provision, his companions immediately agree: "Let us start rebuilding."
We should never be afraid to say what God has put in our heart. Because he's probably put it in other hearts too.
