I Gotta Idea

two-year-old grandboy





"So God gave me the idea..." (Neh. 7:5)

The other night, our two-year-old grandboy announced, "I gotta idea!"

"What's your idea?" asked his dad.

Grandboy replied, "'Quesadizzas' for supper!"

The Old Testament character, Nehemiah, was the cupbearer for King Artaxerxes when he received the heartbreaking news of torn-down walls and burnt gates in Jerusalem - his homeland. When Artaxerxes noted Nehemiah's sadness, the king granted him permission to go to Jerusalem and rebuild the city. Following the "ideas" God gave Nehemiah, the work was accomplished in 52 days.

Every grand idea before every great and honorable accomplishment comes from the mind of God. 

Need an idea, beloved? Ask Jesus.
