Nehemiah 9:33 :
Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
Commentary on this verse:
The summary of their prayers we have here upon record. Much more, no doubt, was said. Whatever ability we have to do any thing in the way of duty, we are to serve and glorify God according to the utmost of it. When confessing our sins, it is good to notice the mercies of God, that we may be the more humbled and ashamed. The dealings of the Lord showed his goodness and long-suffering, and the hardness of their hearts. The testimony of the prophets was the testimony of the Spirit in the prophets, and it was the Spirit of Christ in them. They spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and what they said is to be received accordingly. The result was, wonder at the Lord's mercies, and the feeling that sin had brought them to their present state, from which nothing but unmerited love could rescue them. And is not their conduct a specimen of human nature? Let us study the history of our land, and our own history. Let us recollect our advantages from childhood, and ask what were our first returns? Let us frequently do so, that we may be kept humble, thankful, and watchful. Let all remember that pride and obstinacy are sins which ruin the soul. But it is often as hard to persuade the broken-hearted to hope, as formerly it was to bring them to fear. Is this thy case? Behold this sweet promise, A God ready to pardon! Instead of keeping away from God under a sense of unworthiness, let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. He is a God ready to pardon.
Prayer for Nehemiah 9:10 :
βYou performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all the people of his land, for You knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors. You made a name for Yourself that endures to this day
β Praying through Nehemiah 9:10:
Our prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many reminders in both Old and New Testaments, of the ease with which we can leave our first love and the speed with which we can wander from the truth. Keep us on the road of righteousness and looking to Jesus. Prevent us from being dazzled by any passing fancy of this world, which can only cause us to stumble. May we never forget that You alone are the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and that by grace You sent Your only begotten Son to die in our place so that by faith in Him we may rise to life immortal. Praise Your holy name! AMEN.
