Nehemiah is a thrilling book. Written partly in the first person, it reads almost like a diary account, giving us a glimpse into the heart of God’s chosen leader, Nehemiah. The book tells the story of restoration against the odds and of God at work behind the scenes protecting his people from their enemies and enabling them to carry out his plan. Nehemiah has great highs, where we get a glimpse of what God’s people working together under God’s leader and listening to God’s word can achieve. But there are also great lows; Nehemiah can’t deal with the besetting sins of the people. These 30 undated devotions will help you treasure Jesus more deeply as you look forward to his coming and the renewal he brings.
