Study with Pastor Kelvin
Read:
Summary:
A week after the walls around Jerusalem are completed , the people reassemble in Jerusalem . Ezra brings out the Book of the law and reads it aloud to all the people. He interprets the Hebrew text in Aramaic, then spoken by ordinary people. The next day the people scatter to gather branches so they can build booths and keep the festival of Tabernacle. Each day of the festival is spent listening to the scriptures. Many have been convicted by the reading of God's Law. They keep on gathering, spending part of the day studying the Law and part in confession and worship. Nehemiah records a typical prayer. It expresses the people's awe of God, and a fervent appeal that God would relieve their distress. The community is ready to make a fresh commitment to the Lord.
Prayer Point:
In the name of Jesus Christ as I pray, O' Lord draw me closely to Your Word.
