Seize The Moment

As we continue in Nehemiah, the King recognizes that Nehemiah is "sad" in his presence. Nehemiah has never been "sad" before. The King inquires as to why Nehemiah is "sad". However the King came to that discernment, it appears that he is empathetic. The King then inquires as to what he could do to help.

As we gather for worship, perhaps you are "sad", and your heart is heavy. You can put on a good front, but God, the true King, knows your spirit. He also is the one who has what you need. Allow the heaviness in your heart, the confusion in your soul, the weariness of your Spirit to be fully surrendered to the One who sits on the throne and can heal your deepest wound.
