Nehemiah had been praying long and hard for an opportunity to speak to the king about rebuilding the walls of his devastated & destroyed Jerusalem. But when God granted him the meeting with the king, he came prepared. For when the king inquired what it would take…Nehemiah was ready. From required letters of introduction and references, to a material list for the building project itself, Nehemiah had done his homework ahead of time. We can pray for an open door…but for many of us that’s as far as it goes…for there’s no contingence plan for what we’ll do if & when God opens that door. Sadly, we can be caught ill prepared and not at all ready for the long-awaited answer to our prayer.
