Studies in the Book of Nehemiah (Chapter 2:1-10) Heavenly help—Waiting for God’s blessing

When God’s people act, God starts to work and provides His helping hand.

“Providence”—God’s ability to foresee the end from the beginning and to create the world by laws that would work for the success of His cause.

“Providence”—God’s ability to foresee the end from the beginning and to use His created laws in a way that would work for the success of His cause.

Nehemiah’s faith in “providence” The king granted them to me because the good hand of my God was upon me” (Neh. 2:8).

Is there any doubt that God could have sent an angel to miraculously raise Jerusalem’s broken walls? But God’s people needed the blessing of believing, working, and building. No faithful effort; no heavenly help! But God’s people needed the blessing of believing, working, and building. No faithful effort; no heavenly help!

God’s help makes possible what may be seen as humanly impossible. There were certain things Nehemiah couldn’t do or supply. There were certain things Nehemiah couldn’t do or supply. God did and provided everything that Nehemiah needed! God did and provided everything that Nehemiah needed!

God’s help can shape the most powerful people and forces in this world. In order to supply Nehemiah’s need, God influenced in some way the most powerful man on the earth! In order to supply Nehemiah’s need, God influenced in some way the most powerful man on the earth! “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand…” (Is. 40:12) “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand…” (Is. 40:12)

We need not know God’s modus operandi in order to believe that He can answer our prayers. It is more important to know that God answers prayer than to know how He answers prayer! It is more important to know that God answers prayer than to know how He answers prayer!

We have to learn to pray…. and wait for God’s answer! “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world” (Mt. 28:20). “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world” (Mt. 28:20). “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent. For I am with you…” (Ac. 18:9-10). “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent. For I am with you…” (Ac. 18:9-10).
