Nehemiah 5:1-19 Facing Struggles Selflessly Let us stay vigilant against the schemes of the enemy. THE STRUGGLES OF THE POOR When no one else sees the losses you endure, we have a Master who not only knows but also records every tearful experience in His ledger. When we are powerless and helpless, and our cries reach the heavens, God will raise someone to address our struggles. THE SELF-CENTEREDNESS OF THE INDIFFERENT We should ask God to give us the grace to notice the sorrow on our brethren’s faces and to recognize the inner pain in their hearts. We should pray that the Holy Spirit softens our hearts to fully receive the Word as it is. THE SELFLESSNESS OF NEHEMIAH We must develop a deep fear of God, and it will alter our perspective. God has called us to be unique, and by living accordingly, we will gain His favor.
