Nehemiah’s role as cupbearer positioned him perfectly for God’s purpose. When he heard Jerusalem’s walls were broken, his emotional response revealed a God-given burden. A burden is a deep concern God causes or allows to settle on our hearts, inviting us to join His work. Your burden is your invitation to act.
