Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully Feast in Nehemiah 1 & 2 . In
the Feast today we begin in the book of Nehemiah chapters one and two. By
reading a chapter (sometimes two) everyday, we read every Word in God’s Word
in about 3 years. Jesus supports this work so we never ask for nor
accept donations. We do accept prayers and prayerful
correction. Thank you for joining us in the Feast.
“The Old Testament history closes with the
book of Nehemiah, wherein is recorded the workings of his heart, in the
management of public affairs; with many devout reflections.
– Nehemiah was the Persian king’s
cup-bearer. When God has work to do, he will never want instruments to do it
with. Nehemiah lived at ease, and in honour, but does not forget that he is
an Israelite, and that his brethren are in distress. He was ready to do them
all the good offices he could; and that he might know how best to do them a
kindness, he makes inquiries about them. We should inquire especially
concerning the state of the church and religion. Every Jerusalem on this side
the heavenly one will have some defect, which will require the help and
services of its friends. Nehemiah’s first application was to God, that he
might have the fuller confidence in his application to the king. Our best
pleas in prayer are taken from the promise of God, the word on which he has
caused us to hope. Other means must be used, but the effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man avails most. Communion with God will best prepare us for
our dealings with men. When we have intrusted our concerns to God, the mind
is set at liberty; it feels satisfaction and composure, and difficulties
vanish. We know that if the affair be hurtful, he can easily hinder it; and
if it be good for us, he can as easily forward it.” An overview of
Nehemiah in Matthew Henry’s Concise commentary.
Why do we read every word in God’s
Word? God’s Word is life. “ 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of
God.’”” Matthew
4:4, ESV. God’s Word feeds our faith. “17 So faith comes from
hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17, ESV. Feast to be A Worker Approved by God; “14 Remind them of these things,
and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which
does no good, but only ruins the hearers.15 Do your best to
present yourself to God as one approved, a workerwho has no need to be
ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.16 But avoid irreverent
babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,” 2
Timothy 2:14-16, ESV. These are but a few
reasons for our Feast.
If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
Is Jesus is calling out to you? Do you hear that small voice
