Furthermore I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy.”
And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Nehemiah 2:7-8
Devotion:
Nehemiah Prayed to God before he answers the King's question. Secondly, he is prudent and very clear on what he wants. He asked for one permission letter to cross the river and the next letter to get sufficient wood for rebuilding the temple. Long granted both the request according to the good hand of God on him.
Furthermore, make plans and be prudent in your life. Keep God first and surrender your ways to him and he will make it right.
