- In addition to rebuilding the house of God, the walls of Jerusalem still needed to be raised to establish a boundary within which God truly rules and His people hear and obey His word. Therefore, the Lord will truly carry out His will (Neh 2:17, 4:6, 12:27).
- Nehemiah asked the Lord to fulfill His promise completely. To do this, there needed to be those who repented and dedicated themselves to rebuilding the walls. It was necessary to rebuild the city so that God could return to live and govern His people in that place (Nehemiah 1:8-9).
- We are in a spiritual battle: we are fighting for the good of God’s people, and the enemy is furious. As long as God’s government is not established by His word, Satan is at ease. But when those who are concerned about doing God’s will come forward, the enemy will set up barriers (Nehemiah 2:8-9).
- “We, the church, must live to carry out the will of the Lord, which comes through His word. Let us not be guided by our way of thinking or by our opinions. Let us obey the word of the Lord!” (Ps 143:10; 1 John 2:17). (Daily Food, Book 5, Week 1, Thursday, page 15).
