This week, we’re continuing our focus on the first chapter of Nehemiah. In the last post, we took a step back to see the broader picture. Now, let’s zoom in on Nehemiah’s prayer.
When Nehemiah’s heart grew heavy for his fellow Jews, he didn’t hesitate or get lost in overthinking, gossip, or endless discussions. He turned straight to prayer.
Let’s examine Nehemiah’s prayer and consider a few questions that can help us apply its lessons to our daily prayer lives.
Nehemiah Chapter 3 might seem like a mundane list of builders, but it holds powerful lessons for us today. From priests to perfume makers, everyone played a role in rebuilding the wall—no experts, just available hearts. This chapter challenges us to reflect: Are we making ourselves available for God’s work? How are we building His kingdom in our homes? Have we truly dedicated our lives to His glory? A heart set apart for God can accomplish more than skill alone ever could.
The fifth entry in the S.I.N.G. series examines Nehemiah’s proactive and detailed approach to rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall and how he became a powerful witness and example before God’s people.
This fourth article of “The S.I.N.G series,” reflects on Nehemiah 2:1-10, focusing on Nehemiah’s role as the king’s cup bearer—a position of significant trust and responsibility in ancient Persia.
Despite his high rank, Nehemiah was deeply burdened by the plight of his fellow Jews in Jerusalem. After months of fasting and prayer, he courageously presents his concerns to the king, using the door God miraculously opened for him.
The blog emphasizes the importance of waiting in faith, preparing diligently for God’s timing, and performing our duties with excellence as a reflection of our relationship with Jesus.
