Nehemiah Ch.5&6

1.  Meditation verse for the Book of Nehemiah chapters 5&6: In chapter 5, we learn about how Nehemiah discovered that a lot of people of Israel was in desperate need and how the rich people took advantage of them! Nehemiah listened to them and helped them.  In chapter 6, we learn about how God’s enemies were trying to stop the work to build the walls of Jerusalem and trick Nehemiah, but he didn’t listen to them and he was faithful in what he was doing. So, God helped him to rebuild the walls and finish the work.  In chapter 6 verse 3, we read how Nehemiah didn’t want to leave God’s work and talked to the people who wanted to distract him, so God helped him and they couldn’t harm him. We should be faithful in any work we do even if it was little; at school, home, church …because if we are faithful, God will reward us.  “‘Well done, good and ___________ servant; you have been faithful over a ___________things, I will make you ruler over _________ things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.” (Matthew 25:23)..
