Nehemiah Chapter 2 Discussion Page 2

Nehemiah honored and feared the Lord in that he saw the importance of the wall being rebuilt in order for fellowship and brotherly love to continue. Nehemiah focus was to please the Lord that he put his life that Christ had given him, he took a chance in the night hours to watch and pray and go in the night to check out the area for the rebuilding of the wall to the Lord. What a mighty and unselfish man of God. Then he told the men that he was building the wall unto the Lord and it was not being built unto the kings. Even when the men of the city faced off with him about who the wall was being built for, Nehemiah made it clear "unto God". Our daily life must be built unto God, not unto man. We must stay focused as Nehemiah did and see it though, In Jesus name.

there is a peculiar act in verse 4 he prayed to God so he before the king boldly looked up or down and moved his lips in request of God for his desire.

The most profound words in Chapter 2 are "the good hand of hand of God upon me". When God's good hand is upon you, his grace, mercy, favor and love are upon you there is nothing good that mankind will withold from you. So it was with Nehemiah and the people of Judah. The people who did not want to see the people restored to their former state by God and to see God glorified (referring to Sanballat, Tobiah and Geshem (enemies of God) cannot stop you unless God removes his "good hand from you.

in my opinion nehemiah is a excellent builder.And he trust and rely on God.
