Hello My Dear Family, Thank you for standing by me throughout this 13 journey into the book of Nehemiah. I believe that God has spoken to us, through this book of His past faithfulness, on steps we ought to take to rebuild and commit to our own damaged wall.
Today we finish our challenge with chapter 13 and it is the perfect conclusion. Nehemiah has struggled and persevered to inspire the people to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Now, with the wall rebuilt and the nation reestablished he looks around and sees the people already returning to the sins which led to their expulsion to begin with. Oh how quickly we forget! Please let us all learn from their mistakes and not have to make them ourselves.
When Nehemiah discovered the complacency of the Jews regarding certain of God's commandments and even their direct disobedience regarding His laws of holiness, he corrected the matters immediately. Let us do the same! Let us remain vigilant and not allow sin to enter our midst. Let us encourage one another in Godly wisdom toward Godly choices. Now is the time we must stand apart more than ever, be above reproach more than ever. God is rebuilding our house! Let's choose to honor Him for it.
Thank you again, my dear family and friends. I stand united with you as your friend and servant. Elise
