Nehemiah 2:12. “And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.”
CONFIDENTIAL RESEARCH. It is quite proper to sometimes consider a work by yourself alone. To research a project ahead of time clarifies to us what must be done. If there are a lot of options, at first, we may overlook God’s plan That is the blueprint for a work we are to follow, not the opinions of man.
When one takes the time to go over a planned work carefully, It helps us to be precise so we can approach the work prayerfully. The needs to accomplish the work can be made quite clear As the Lord God unfolds to us all that is needed here.
Time taken to stop and consider each different view, Gives a form to where and how to begin and then follow through. To take time to look at a work from every possible side May help to solve potential difficulties that from us first did hide.
To observe and assess all matters surrounding a situation, Allows us time to apply some thoughtful consideration. A realistic strategy that comes from gaining firsthand information, Can really only come by way of thorough observation.
When the time comes to share with others all you have found; It is obvious to all you have already gone over the ground, And know what you are talking about from firsthand knowledge. What God has put in your heart isn’t generally learned in a college.
To act prematurely can often create serious stress, That comes to various groups as their opinions they press On others, and rivalry can come – instead of uniting, Through tedious planning sessions, it starts dividing.
We have to share our vision with others it is true – But take time with God first so they know He started with you. So,when you encourage them to put into action what God intends, Others can claim real ownership in what God through you did begin.
“Father, please keep me from claiming personal credit for anything Thou hast done through Thy servant. In every work I know there are many You used so all glory will go to Thee, not to men. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
