God Knows and Cares

Nehemiah 6:9-14

      As Nehemiah continued work on the wall, Tobiah and Sanballat continued their efforts against it.  Opposition increased as false prophets arose to distract Nehemiah from the work.  Nehemiah prayed that God would remember (take note of) the things done against him (vs.14).  The wall was completed and I believe it was evident whose side God was on, for “their enemies were humiliated” (NLT, vs. 11). 

Prayer principle: Bring the attacks of the ungodly before the throne of God. 

About God: God deeply cares for His own – He is compassionate. He will move in His time – He is sovereign.  Can we make the compound – compassionate sovereignty driven by His holiness?

About Me: I should bring my pain to God and cease to commiserate. “He knows; He loves; He cares. Nothing this truth can dim. God gives His very best to those who leave the choice to Him” (Unknown).
