Dare to be Bold

Good morning humble obedient women of God.
Do you recall when Pastor Tracie spoke on how she opened her front door & claimed her sons to the Lord. She humbled herself in front of others but 1st to God. She was not held to what she saw in front of her, her title did not determine what she could or could not do, she was not fearful of what others thought & she knew the promises that God made to her & she was not afraid to remind Him of those promises.
This made me think of Nehemiah & how those were the same characteristics he exhibited during time of opposition.
Nehemiah showed great compassion for the remnant & the ruin of the city. He sat, mourned & wept for days regarding the situation. (Nehemiah 1:1-4) He showed great humility as He went to God 1st in "prayer". He realized that what was before him was more than he could fix or rebuild on his own (the wall); this was only something God could do. He was humbled & dependent on God in all things. Nehemiah spoke with the king ( remember a cup bearer had no rights, so a servant speaking to a king about what was on his heart- death could result). And finally he was..... BOLD.
Nehemiah in prayer, reminded God of His promises to the people & prayed it back to God ( Nehemiah 1:5-11), He was bold in the work he had before him ( he was a cup bearer not a wall re-builder) Nehemiah 2:5, he was bold in facing the opposition ( this was not the 1st time this wall was torn down & the people well.. they really were not hearing what Nehemiah was saying on rebuilding some were trying to stop him... God helped them rebuild it in 52 days!!!!)
We must know that God is with us in all things. To know this we must be in prayer 1st & always (intimacy). God speaks to us during prayer He will acknowledge our humble prayers that are pleasing to Him. He will give us permission, protection, & provision & once His plan is our plan He wants us to be BOLD in it.
Ladies do you............... DARE TO BE BOLD??????????????
