Let’s Listen again to Nehemiah: “For I was the king’s cupbearer.” “So what?” you may ask. “Why does that matter?” It matters because of all that is behind those six words. It meant leaving his comfort zone. It meant taking a risk. It meant returning to Jerusalem. It meant becoming vulnerable. But the end result would be rewarding.
Nehemiah would go on to become the agent of an incredible rebuilding process that would bring much good to others and much glory to his God. Are there walls in your life in need of repair? Are there burned gates that are leaving you exposed and vulnerable? Be honest. Perhaps your wall isn’t completely broken down, but a stone is missing here or there, and little cracks are appearing.
Remember, the Lord Jesus left His own comfort zone of heaven to become the rebuilder of our broken walls. Through the pen of Isaiah, His prophet, He said, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My Hands, your walls are continually before Me” (Isaiah 49:15–16). Our Lord saw that our walls of life were in need of rebuilding.
What did He do about it? He came to be our personal rebuilder. And He got started right. He made an honest evaluation, and then He identified with our need. He, like Nehemiah, came and wept over us and over the city of Jerusalem. Next, He took personal responsibility. He took our sin into His own body and died our death so that we could live His life; taking our sin so we could take His righteousness. He came to be the rebuilder of the broken walls of your life.
Go ahead, get up, and move out of your comfort zone. When you do, you will be getting started right, and you will be on your way to discovering the truth that . . . it’s never too late for a new beginning! so what are you waiting for get started on your new beginning.
