Nehemiah: The King's Cupbearer
"O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." For I was the king's cupbearer. (Nehemiah 1:11)
Nehemiah was the cubearer of the King. It was his job to taste the King's wine and test his meals to protect the King from being poisoned. In this position, Nehemiah became a tructed advisor.
Due to Nehemiah's faithful and prayerful performanance of his duties, God was able to use him to bring about the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.
Are you performing your job faithfully?
