I was cupbearer to the king.
Nehemiah 1:11 NIV
He's a waiter.
Although privy to a lot of secrets and talks of the rich and powerful...he's not rich and powerful.
Yet there is no hint of "I'm just a cupbearer"
Why?
His heart had been broken for his people and he was talking to God about it.
His job, his position in society wasn't a barrier or the way forward...it just was what it was.
It's what broke his heart that was most important.
So what breaks our hearts?
What do we see or hear about that could or should make us cry before God about?
