Today’s Bible Verse: “In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before.” — Nehemiah 2:1

Nehemiah 2:1 captures a quiet but pivotal moment. Nehemiah had been carrying deep grief and burden over the condition of Jerusalem, yet this was the first time the king noticed it on his face. What seemed like a small moment of vulnerability became the beginning of God opening a door for restoration.
