Cupbearer to the King...

Nehemiah1:11 "O Lord, I beseech You, may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant. Now I was the cupbearer to the king."

Simple challenge this week. What does your position allow you to do for the Lord? Think seriously about where you are and what resources are at your disposal. 

Nehemiah was a cupbearer and a trusted (think tasting the potentially poisoned drinks for King-Dude), he was a likable guy. He probably had to do some things in the Babylonian captivity that he didn't agree with in a secular environment, but the Lord still used him because he was willing. 

Serve the Lord where you work. Be willing to serve your boss as you serve the Lord. Be strong in your ethics. Know that people are watching you as you serve in these venues.
