Takeaways:
-Nehemiah took personally the troubles of his people.
-He responded by weeping, mourning, fasting, and praying.
-Nehemiah seeks to leverage his influence with his people in an effort to attain the favor of God.
-Nehemiah was the cupbearer to King Artaxerxes. That meant that he was officially a servant, even to the point of putting his own life on the line to serve the king. The cupbearer was often required to drink from the cup of the king to be sure it wasn’t poisoned before the king drank from it.
-Nehemiah wants to take his burden and use it to fuel his passion for God’s glory to be restored in Jerusalem.
