“Now, the People…”

November 13, 2020

“Now, the People…”

Blessings folk!

The people completed their prayer.
They were in great distress.
But, they did not “just pray”.

They knew what to do.
They did it.

First they “put it in writing”…

Neh 9:38
“Now because of all this
We are making an agreement in writing;
And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders, our Levites and our priests.”

Then, chapter 10 gives all the details of how they would fulfill the Law.

Neh 10:28-30
Now the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters,
all those who had knowledge and understanding,

are joining with their kinsmen, their nobles, and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God’s law, which was given through Moses, God’s servant, and to keep and to observe all the commandments of GOD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes;

and that we will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land
or take their daughters for our sons.

They repented.
They returned to the Lord and His Word.

The last verse gives a summation…

Neh 10:39
For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine and the oil to the chambers; there are the utensils of the sanctuary, the priests who are ministering, the gatekeepers and the singers. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.


May we repent and be faithful to that which the Lord has called us!
