“Therefore…However…”

August 2, 2018

“Therefore…However…”

Blessings folk!

After a long account of the wickedness of their forefathers and the goodness of God,
the people get down to the issue at hand…

Neh 9:32-33

“Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God,
who keeps covenant and lovingkindness,
Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You,
Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets,
our fathers and on all Your people,
From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

“However, You are just in all that has come upon us;
For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.

Therefore…the people declared the greatness of God…

  • The Great
  • The Mighty
  • The Awesome God
  • Covenant keeping
  • Full of lovingkindness

They make a request…
  • Do not let the hardships that have come upon them seem insignificant before You

They had brought forth the hardships upon themselves.
The Lord had judged them due to their disobediences and great blasphemies.

They acknowledged judgment had come upon them…their kings..their princes…their priests…their prophets…their fathers…on all God’s people.

Therefore…however…

God is just.
In all things.
In all ways.

God dealt faithfully with them.
God deals faithfully with us.

They had acted wickedly and received the due course of this wickedness.
So will we…if we do not follow the Lord.

Follow the Faithful Lord.
Refuse the way of the flesh.
