So here's the final part of our 'call recognition system' via Nehemiah.

Firstly, the hurt (the cause) touches your heart; then the hurt touches your head; finally your hurt touches your hands.

You remain unsatisfied to the point of action; simply to stand by and do nothing seems like an insane idea. Where a year ago doing anything about your hurt seemed unlikely and unrealistic NOW seems to be the most natural course of action.

The move from brain activity to hand activity takes a long time. Yet when you step up and step out, your life fills with 'fresh air.'

The king was onto Nehemiah. He knew his cupbearer well and noticed a change in Nehemiahs mood. He enquired as to why and bravely Nehemiah told him.

The interesting thing is that Nehemiah had a plan in his mind, even though the opportunity to go to Jerusalem seemed a long way off. So, when the opportunity came to openly share his feelings, he could immediately put into action a well thought through plan.

Often you know what you have to do and how to do it but you need to wait for the right time. It's here were most are tempted to make the wrong move and go early.

The Bible says a mans gift makes room for him; so does his calling. Allow God to touch your heart, your head but be patient for God to engage your hands. When he creates the space, you will 'pick up' the pace!
