iQood news - From Nebemiah. ooe of the Jtanly great characters at the 4Md Testament and ooe of the world's moat ardent patriots, we eaa learn some ipiendid and helpful lessons. He was tarn in exile, reared la a foreign land, and in his youth was appointed by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, to the responsible position of cup bearer. Nebemiah 1:14 When Nehemiah's Jewish "brethern who had escaped captivity (including Hanani, his brother in the flesh) went to visit him, he inquired of 'them concerning his people and their beloved city. With tad voices they told him that ' Jerusalem was in a deplorable condition and that the enemy was making life miserable for the people. Although Nehemiah was living in a prosperous fcihion, be was grieved by the discouraging news that his people were being treated scornfully and contemptably by those around them. Nehemiah 1:44 Burdened to the point of tears, Nehemiah began in the right way by mourining, fasting, and praying. In his earnest prayer this godly man confessed his own sins and the "sins of the people, asked for God's forgiveness, and in voked the divine blessings upon them, and God heard and answered the request of His servant. ? He prayed repeatedly and persistently. Like Nehemiah, we need to acknowledge our and the Him to forgive, cleanse, bless, and use us in His service Nehemiah S:MJ In that great service, vhen the reading o 4 God's word was the thing of supreme im portance. the people were interested in the message which it contained. It was applicable to their needs, welfare, ideals, and hopes. There was information ? the facts were msde known. There was illuminstion ? the people understood clearly. There was inspiration ? the teaching led to correct action. Their response was charac terised by conviction, repentance, rejoicing, and obedience. The Law, which revealed to them the extent of their sins, also pointed them to God. Aware of the gulf between the requirements of God and their performances, they mourned over their sinfulness, turned to God in humble penitence and faith, received the forgiveness of their sins, and began to rejoice in the Lord. The joy of the Lord always abounds in the hearts of those who truly repent toward God and exercise a genuine faith in Christ. Moreover, those forgiven and joyful people readily separated themselves from the world, dedicated them selves unto God, and rendered loving and obedient service for Him. How we need to follow their example!
