“Abram…As Promised”

Blessings folk!

The Levites continue to lead the people in prayer before the Lord.

They had thought this through.
They had planned.
The last verse of chapter 9 tells us…

Neh 9:38
“Now because of all this
We are making an agreement in writing;…

This is at the end of the prayer.
I believe they wrote out the agreement with prayer and presented it before the Lord.
Now, note what they prayed next…

Neh 9:7-8
“You are the LORD God,
Who chose Abram
And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees,
And gave him the name Abraham.

“You found his heart faithful before You,
And made a covenant with him
To give him the land of the Canaanite,
Of the Hittite and the Amorite,
Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite—
To give it to his descendants.
And You have fulfilled Your promise,
For You are righteous.

They declared that God is their Lord.

They speak of their founding forefather - Abram.

God brought Abram out from Ur of the Chaldees.
God named him Abraham - father of nations.
God examined Abraham and found him faithful.
God made covenant with Abraham.
Part of the covenant was a promise of land.
The Lord gave victory.
The Lord gave land.
The Land was given to Abraham and his descendants.
The Lord had fulfilled His promise.
Why?
Because He is righteous!
