Nehemiah 4:4, 5 (NASB)
Hear, O our God, how we are despised! Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity. Do not forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have demoralized the builders.
A Theme to Remember:
This joyous, care-free, peaceful experience bringing the believer into a joyousness, living simply by faith day by day, is the will of God. So that not only is it God’s will that we should find full deliverance from all care and undue anxiety, but He has ordained prayer as the means by which we can reach that happy state of heart. (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)
Words to Remember:
The house of my soul is too small for you to come to it. May it be enlarged by you. It is in ruins, restore it.
–Augustine of Hippo
