Today in Nehemiah chapter 9 we wrap up the wonderful prayer of the Levites that began in yesterday’s readings!  This prayer is a fantastic overview of God’s grace and discipline to the Israelites.

Today in Nehemiah chapter 10 we read the vows of the people, including these in verses 30 & 31: “We promise not to let our daughters marry the pagan people of the land, nor to let our sons marry their daughters. We further promise that if the people of the land should bring any merchandise or grain to be sold on the Sabbath or on any other holy day, we will refuse to buy it. And we promise not to do any work every seventh year and to cancel the debts owed to us by other Jews.”  How are you doing with taking a Sabbath?

Worship Video:  Today’s readings reminds me of the wonderful Selah video and song “You Raise Me Up:”
