Sunday Smash (Nehemiah) S4E29

Let us try to be like Nehemiah and be concerned about the where we are coming from. Nehemiah was the son of Hachaliah and he was the cupbearer for king Artaxerxes. So Nehemiah asked about how things were back in Judah and Jerusalem he was told that things were bad the people who survived were in great distress, while the wall was down and the gates were burned with fire. Nehemiah felt sad and concerned about people that he prayed and fasted for the people. Remember he was working for the King so we could assume life was a bit soft for him, but the news brought a lot sorrows for him for a lot days that it was noticed by the king, and the allowed to leave.
