I have been studying vision a lot lately and have been studying through the Book of Nehemiah. Just like Habakkuk did some 70 years earlier, they both saw devastation and injustice around them and shared their burden with God.
Often when we feel a burden for a specific cause or situation, that burden is from God. God wants to express His love through our transformed lives, and as Nehemiah began to weep for Jerusalem, God opened a door for the walls of Jerusalem to be rebuilt.
What burdens your heart? What situation are you facing that seems overwhelming that there doesn't seem to be a way out? You too can cry out to God and share your burden, and as we allow the wisdom of God to speak to us, we will find out how we can be a part of the solution. As someone once said, "Don't curse the darkness; light a candle," so that others can see. Or we can pray, "Lord take me and break me and give me away!" The solution for many of the world's problems is within our heart's cry and our yielded obedience to wisdom.
