English Standard Version
Nehemiah is physically far removed from Jerusalem, but the city isn't far from his heart -- when he has the opportunity, he questions Hanani about it, wanting to know the fate of the city. At the time, he probably doesn't realize that the question will change his life.
The right questions have the ability to transform our futures. When we keep people and places close to our hearts, we look for updates, and sometimes, those updates will drive us to changes. They'll lead us to actions that can come at great cost.
So who are the people on your mind this week? What are the places that you're concerned about? Keep looking for updates. Those updates may eventually ask something of you, some sacrifice, but when you care, you make those sacrifices willingly. When our brothers and sisters are suffering, community demands something of us.
