The First Thing to Do is Nothing

from So True Devotional · host Philip De Courcy

Sometimes the hardest step of faith is not moving forward but waiting. In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy unpacks Nehemiah 2:1–10 to show that waiting on God is not wasted time. Like Nehemiah, who waited four long months before approaching the king, we too must learn that God’s timing is always perfect. Acting too quickly can undo what prayerful patience might accomplish.Waiting allows God to prepare both us and the circumstances for His purposes. It deepens our faith, clarifies our vision, and reminds us that we are not the ones governing the universe—He is. If you’re tempted to rush ahead, Nehemiah’s story reminds us that the greatest thing you can sometimes do is nothing, entrusting the outcome to God.Key Scripture: Nehemiah 2:1–10Visit Us Here Follow/Subscribe Here
