The Story of Nehemiah

Life.

It's happening all around us. Every moment of every day. Another one just passed you by. Did you notice it? Day after day, a thousand times a day. And throughout those days, there are some moments that define our lives. But only when we step into them—when we seize those moments and live them—do we discover our lives. Otherwise, they pass us by. And many do.

Nehemiah was a cupbearer for the King of Persia. It was a position of influence and prestige. But one day... one moment... he received news that his homeland of Jerusalem was in desperate need. He was stunned. The moment sunk in and set its roots. Though Nehemiah didn't know it at the time, that moment would define the rest of his life.

In Nehemiah's story, preserved for us in ancient scripture, we observe the unfolding of a life that was discovered. A man who was existing—punching the clock, putting in his time, paying his bills, and enjoying the comforts of his position—become a man who was living on the edge of a wild blue adventure with God. In the end, his life carries so much significance that his story is preserved in scripture as one of the greatest leaders of the people of God ever had.

As we observe his story, we learn. We learn lessons and secrets and dangers of discovering our lives. We learn how to pay attention to moments. How to prepare for them. How to stumble into them and risk it all. We learn the threats that we face when we discover who we were made to be. The price that is paid by people who are willing to do whatever it takes.
