The Trouble We Are In

Nehemiah went to Jerusalem and was there three days, then I rose in the night and a few men with me. He inspected the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and its gates that had been destroyed by fire. When San Belat the Horonite and Tobias the Ammonite servant and Geshim the Arab heard of it, they jeered at us and despised us. It's a powerful passage. If chapter 1 gives us an incredible insight into the power of prayer and the necessity of prayer, chapter 2 gives us insight into what I refer to as a faith that works.
