Foundation Of Divine Support
Nehemiah 1:11 – O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who delight to fear thy name; and give success to thy servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." Now I was cupbearer to the king.
Everyone wants to be a beneficiary of divine support but not everyone is ready to undergo the foundational requirements. To enjoy divine support there are things that must be put in place. I studied and found out that those that enjoyed divine support are those that are God’s servant [not in title or uniform but God’s servant from his/her actions and inactions]. They do want God wants and run from what God don’t want. They delight to reverentially fear the Lord irrespective of the situations that they are into.
Nehemiah devoted himself to the duties of God despite being the king’s cupbearer, he did not defile himself. He was serving a heathen king but he retained the fear of God in his heart.
Secondly, he called upon God for help. This shows that he trusted in and relied on God and not on his position nor on whom he was serving [the king]. He totally acknowledged and recognized that it is only God that can help him obtain his desire, not his position nor even the king; John 3:27.
Beloved, as you trust in God for divine support this month and always, make it your aim to be a doer of God’s word and to trust in Him alone. Ask yourself, if you are a doer and observer of the instructions of God. Do you fear God? Do you trust in and totally rely on God? God cannot support you if your answer is “NO” to the two questions.
God has clearly stated it in His word that His divine support is for those that fear Him and trust in Him – Deuteronomy 28:1, 13, 15, 2 Chronicles 7:14, 17, 1 Chronicles 5:20, Psalm 37:40, Psalm 125:1. I pray that the spirit of the fear of God and the mindset to always trust Gog be given to you and I. May we always observe and do the words and instructions of our God, Amen!
