Build Up

The book of Nehemiah opens much like the daily news The walls of Jerusalem were broken down and the gates burned Can you remember “when” and “where” you received bad news?

Nehemiah was a person who cared enough to do something about a bad situation He cared about the hopes of his people’s future He cared about his heritage and the glory of God He cared enough to leave the comfort of the palace to rebuild the walls

Do we really care?

“You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house” (I Peter 2:5)

The stone of care

Nehemiah cared enough to ask “I asked them...” (1:2) Nehemiah was aware of the destruction of Jerusalem, 70 years of captivity, and a return of a remnant He was not aware of the news that came to him News of a city in ruins and broken down walls Do we care enough to ask about the Lord’s church?

Nehemiah cared enough to weep When I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days” (1:4) Nehemiah carried his emotions to God He wept and mourned for days He wept “flood of tears or loud weeping” Job’s three friends wept over Job’s loss

Jeremiah described his sorrow over God’s people as his eyes a fountain of tears (9:1) When a burden is placed on your heart, don’t escape it, for if you do, you might miss the blessing? Do we care enough to help the load of others? Nehemiah did!

Nehemiah cared enough to pray The book of Nehemiah opens and closes with a prayer He prayed reverently (1:5) He prayed humbly (1:6) He prayed continuously (1:6) He prayed repentantly (1:6)

Do we care enough to talk to God first? Nehemiah prayed before leaving for Jerusalem We can easily do something first and then ask God’s blessing after

Nehemiah cared enough to help “O Lord, I pray, please let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant” (1:11) Can one be a servant and not serve? Jesus cared enough about situation that He came and died for us Nehemiah didn’t wait for someone else to do what he could do

God is still looking for people who care enough to ask, weep, pray,, and help
