Day 269: Nehemiah 1-5

Today on Meditating the Word: Nehemiah's Prayer, Artaxerxes Sends Nehemiah to Jerusalem, Nehemiah Inspects Jerusalem's Walls, Builders of the Wall, Opposition to the Building, and Nehemiah Helps the Poor.

This is Day 269. Today we are reading Nehemiah 1-5

----

Father God, what an amazing example Nehemiah is for us to follow. He encouraged the people, he organized them and set to work rebuilding Jerusalem and its wall. Against all odds in the natural, they prevailed and succeeded, because You were with them, just as You are with us today. You fought for them. You protected them. Nehemiah didn't take from the people as other governers had done before him. He demanded freedom and restoration, and he and his servants didn't stand back and watch while others did the work, but they joined in... shoulder to shoulder... doing whatever needed to be done. Father, let us also refuse privilege and do our part in building Your Kingdom here on earth. Amen
