Weekly Devotional – 2010 The Red Thread Series
A wonderful “Red Thread” of salvation runs throughout the Bible, and each week we are looking at a different book of the Bible to see that Thread that leads to Jesus and God's perfect plan for redeeming mankind to Himself.
MARCH - WEEK FIVE
Book of the Bible: Nehemiah Theme of the Book: Repairing the Walls - Leadership Main Character(s): Nehemiah, Ezra, Sanballat, Tobiah The “Red Thread”: The city of Jerusalem is rebuilt; the people now await the promised King of the Jews who will complete the restoration process for all time.
Key Verses: (Nehemiah's prayer of Remembrance and Hope)
Nehemiah 1: 8 and 18a
Remember the words which Thou didst command Thy servant Moses, saying, If you are unfaithful I will scatter you among the people; but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.
God’s answer to Nehemiah: And I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me, and also about the king’s words which he had spoken to me ...
APPLICATION: Nehemiah was a man of prayer and confession. He called upon the LORD in his time of sorrow. His prayer was filled with weeping and mourning and recognized "Awesome God" (v.5)
- How heartfelt are my prayers?
Ezra read the Word of God to the people in Nehemiah 8.
- Is the reading of God’s Word a part of my prayer life?
