Today the Lord reminded me of something powerful while studying the life of Nehemiah.
The title of the message was:
“Don’t talk yourself out of the position God put you in.”
In Book of Nehemiah 1:11 Nehemiah says, “I was the king’s cupbearer.”
Before the burden about Jerusalem ever came…
before the assignment ever appeared…
Nehemiah was already in position.
What he probably didn’t realize was that God had him in that position because the strategy God would give him later required access to the king.
Sometimes we don’t understand why God has us where we are.
It may feel frustrating.
It may not make sense yet.
But what if the position you’re in right now is preparation for the strategy God is about to give you?
And when God gives that strategy, it won’t just bless you — it will create overflow that helps other people too.
Don’t talk yourself out of the position God placed you in.
God may already have you exactly where you need to be.
