Nehemiah: God's Invitation to Rebuild

21 ദിവസത്തിൽ 1 ദിവസം

As we think about the biblical timeline, we often do not focus on where Nehemiah falls into place. Let's start at the beginning and move toward the time of Nehemiah.

God promised Abraham that a great nation would come from him. He also said he would bless the entire world through Abraham’s lineage. God rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, Joshua led the people in conquering the Promised Land, the great kings of Israel ruled, and Solomon built the Temple. But then Israel split, and the people turned away from God. The Prophets warned the people, but because of their disobedience, Israel was conquered. Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed, and Israel was taken into captivity.

Daniel looked to Jeremiah and foretold the exile would last 70 years. It’s at the end of this time that the events of Ezra and Nehemiah took place. These two books were once considered one book. They tell the story of God bringing his people home, the people's hearts turning back to him, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem.

God is faithful when we are not.

We see his grace in Israel's story.

We see his grace on the cross.

Prayer: Father, thank you for your grace and love. Even when I have gone my own way, you bring me home and restore me. Help me to keep my heart fixed on you. Amen.

Bonus Reading: Daniel 9:2; Jeremiah 25:11; 2 Timothy 2:13

Nehemiah: God's Invitation to Rebuild

Often touted as a “leadership” book, Nehemiah is rich in application. The way Nehemiah led the exiled Israelites in Persia to rebuild and reoccupy Jerusalem was as much an exercise in surrender and supplication as it was leadership and strategy. In this 21-day reading plan, we’ll look to Nehemiah as a role model in prayer, obedience, perseverance, and, yes, leadership.
