As we saw yesterday, the Jews in Nehemiah’s day committed themselves to serve God. Some of them moved into the City of Jerusalem, and others populated the surrounding area. This kind of service to the Kingdom is pleasing to the Lord, as we learn from other scriptures such as Malachi 3:16: “Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name.” Join us today as we continue to see that it takes all sorts of people with all sorts of backgrounds and skills – with the Lord’s help – to maintain the earthly Kingdom of God.
