James Bareng Rejoice! God Will Deliver Colored Pencil, Pencil on Paper 11” x 14” Throughout the course of Nehemiah, God has heard the prayers of Nehemiah and his people, acknowledged their obedience, and has delivered them in the face of opposition many times. Through prayer and obedience, the Lord becomes the foundation of our strength and will deliver us time and time again. As it is written in Nehemiah 8:10, “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Just like the Israelites who overcame the obstacle of building the wall and who are freed to rejoice and celebrate for God’s glory, we too can overcome opposition, freely rejoicing in the strength God provides.
