To summarize this week in Nehemiah………………………………………
It’s never too late to get back up again.
Get up! Get up! You’re gonna shine again.
You may be knocked down, but not out forever.”
Listen to Get Back Up
by: Toby Mac
Nehemiah never gave up. Time and time again he corrected,
rebuked, and redirected the people in Jerusalem. He was
insistent that “we will not neglect the house of our God.” Chapter 10.
As we remember we are just as human as those people in Jerusalem,
and just as sinful, we must also be reminded that God is still the same as
well. He is all forgiving, and that is very good news for us!
We are always in need of repentance, reform, and
re-commitment. Change is possible, yet difficult. We tend to revert back to what
has been the norm for us in the past even when we are the right track. It’s
tiring to keep getting back up on that horse, and it’s exhausting to hang on
for dear life and begin again with a humble heart, but it is always worth it.
We have an open invitation to turn to the Lord, trust in Him
and try again. He will always welcome us back with open arms once we pry our
heads out of the mouth of our predator!
