One of the most important things in any individual’s life is to know that you are walking in step with the eternal spirit,
Yahweh. Nehemiah heard from the Lord, built the wall around Jerusalem and encouraged people to settle in the fortified city. Now they needed to hear the word and remember what God had directed them to do in the first place, namely to be an example to those around them. So Ezra took the people back to where they started from, the word of God. Going back to the word should be the default position for everyone. Wherever God places you and whatever you have achieved, always go back and give him thanks on a regular basis. Ezra blessed the Lord for his provision, lifted up his hands bowed down his head before the Lord in obeisance and worship.
Today always go back to God in whatever situation you find yourself. Everything that starts and end with the word will succeed. In our busy lives remember to take a day off and enquire of the Lord about where he wants to take you.
Read Nehemiah 8:1-12.
