I pray that you are enjoying this day that the good Lord has given us. I am so thankful that we had bright sunshine today!
I’ve been reading through the book of Nehemiah lately. I was impressed by 3 things. 1.Nehemiah prayed. Then he did something.
He asked the king for help, at the risk of his life.
2.God provided help and protection for Nehemiah. The King listened and was touched by his request for supplies and leave from his job as cupbearer. 3. Nehemiah led the way.
He went to the wall, examined it, and organized the workers to fix it. When the wall was finished, he glorified God and praised Him for strength and protection.
Our society is broken down like the old walls of Jerusalem that Nehemiah wept over. Who will pray and weep like Nehemiah did? Who will lead the way to fix the world view that our young people have? We believers must each weep, pray and build back the Godly foundation of our country.
He will guide, strengthen and protect us as he did Nehemiah.
“Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.”
Nehemiah 6:9b
