Nehemiah 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; nor was there any animal with me, except the one on which I rode.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes\u00a0when God tells\u00a0us\u00a0or\u00a0shows\u00a0us something,\u00a0the first\u00a0thing we\u00a0want to do is run and tell everyone else. We get excited and can\u2019t seem to help ourselves.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But sometimes God wants us to hold onto what He says. And there are good reasons for that!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The verse above doesn\u2019t expound on exactly why Nehemiah kept his upcoming mission a secret. But it was very likely because he knew that telling others would put him and the work he was setting out to do at risk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God wants us all to learn this too. Sometimes He tells us something, or shows us something. He puts something in our heart to do and He wants us to hold onto it and protect it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, we have an enemy. And the enemy\u2019s goal is to steal, kill and destroy everything that is tied to God\u2019s kingdom.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning to hold onto what God shows us will help keep it protected and hidden from prying eyes and ears. It will keep it protected from hindrances and possible destruction. It may well even protect us in some way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, despite the urge to tell people about everything that God has placed in our hearts to do, we need to remember to be careful and use discernment, given to us by His Spirit, to learn when to hold and when to tell.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
