Nehemiah 1-5
As the people set about the work of rebuilding the temple, they are faced with a constant threat of harm from those surrounding them. God's man, Nehemiah, leads the people in accomplishing this great task. He realizes that it will only be done if Jehovah God is on their side. So, in the presence of all the people, he begins his prayer, “Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments . . ." In so doing, he is reminding the people that they are serving an incredibly awesome God who loves them, and He will see their work through to its conclusion! We serve that same God today!
