You Actually Have to Pray | TheResurgence.

As we read the book of Nehemiah, we appreciate that the man is no passive flower. We have a man of swift, decisive action; a creative and brilliant strategist who made things happen. He’d engineer and generate things through a mixture of ingenuity and belligerence.

So then why did he not do something? It would surely beat all this wailing. Begin a PR campaign, start lobbying, get on talk radio, or at least write a blog. Instead he mourns. And in doing so, he’s “blessed,” according to Jesus (Matt. 5:4).

Great post at the resurgence. I don’t link to them too often anymore – the info is generally recycled, a random list, book reviews on their own books or boring. But this one rocks.
