LESSON TEXT-N hemlah L
OOLPEN TKXT-'Whatsoever we ask
we receive of him, because we keep hi!
commandm7.is and do these things that
are pleasing in his sight." I John S:2J.
Some twelve or fourteen yenrs aftei
the revival of the worship of Jehovah
under the administration of Ezra, Ne
hemiah led a company to Jerusalem to
restore the city walls and civil author
ity. The walls and (rates of the city
had lain in ruins ever since they wore
broken down by Nebuchadnezzar. Id
this condition the remnant of th
Jews who had gone back to Jerusalem
were exposed to the dangers of as
saults from the surrounding enemies
Not only was this exposure detrimen
tal to the peace and comfort of the
people, but it was a matter of severe
reproach to them (v. 8). Nehemlah
was a man of strong character. Though
occupying a position of high honor and
responslhillty in the very center of
the great heathen capltol, the desire to
honor God was uppermost In his h'-art
He is an example to all young men,
demonstrating to them that It is pos
sible to be true to Ord regardless of
the environment (n which he may be
compelled to live. In order for a man
to thus stand, his life must be rooted
In Christ, and these roots our faith
miKt be watered and kept alive
through vital communion with Hod. Id
prayer and study of His Holy Word.
I. Nehemlah Learna of the Afflic
tion and Reproach of the Returned
Rerinant In Jerusalem (vv. 1-4).
1. The time (v. 1). It was in a
WlntW month. November or December.
In the 20th year of Artuxcrxes. He
war- engaged In the performance of his
accustomed duties as cup-bearer to
the king, when the news came to him
of i he deplorable condition of Jeru
salem and the remnant who had gone
there.
2. The occasion of (vv. 2, 3). The
visit of Nehcminh's brother and certain
men of Judah made it possible for him
to Inquire concernlnir the state of the
remnant and the conditions of Jeru
salem. They informed him that they
were In great affliction and reproach.
3. The effect upon Nehemlah (v. 4).
He was greatly moved by the story of
the distress of his hrethren. Thoii 'h
occupying a position of honor, and en
joying all that heart could desire,-he
keenly took the misfortune of his
brethren to heart. Re not only sle d
tears of sympathy, hut took these bur
dens In prayef to God. This Is the
proper way to sympathize with the un
fortunate. It la manly to weep with
those In distress, and to pray for
those who have need. Jesus wept over
Jerusalem and prayed for his own.
Nehemlah exhibited the spirit of true
patriotism. The affliction and shame
of his own people went close to his
own heart. National and racial soli
darity constitutes the real basis of
patriotism. The reproach and afflic
tion of a nation Is the reproach and
affliction of every member thereof.
II. Nehemiah'a Prayer for Israel
(vv. 5-11). We are taught that In the
midst of affliction, we should pray.
Nehemlah in this early time practiced
this New Testament direction. A
study of his prayer is most helpful.
L It was earnest (v. 4). He fasted
and prayed for several days. When
men are willing to desist from food
and turn aside from tueir occupations
to pray to God. they are unmistakably
In earnest. This Is true fasting.
2. The ground of (v. H). He plead
covenant relationship and the faith
fulness of God In keeping his covenant.
It is a good thing always In our pray
ing to plead thus with God. He Is
delighted when we come as children
pleading for the things we need oq
the basis of our relationship to hlro.
8. Unselfish (v. 6). He has as his
supreme object the welfare of Israel.
His personal interests were not af
fected, either for better or for worse,
by the condition of the Jews lu Jeru
salem. Many prayers do not count
with God because they are self-centered.
4. Penitent (vv. 6, 7). He acknowl
edges that the state of Israel was du
to disobedience to God's command
ments and their corrupt dealings with
God. So completely had he identified
himself with his people that he Includ
ed himself with Israel as having
sinned.
B. The prayer of faith (w. 8, 9).
He believed the word which God had
poken to Moses touching his willing
ness to restore and bless his people,
though he was obliged to severely
Judge them. In our praying, we should
be able to point to some definite prom
ise In God's word, as we plead with
bite. Faith takes God at bis word.
And holds him to It.
6. Definite (w. 10, 11).
a. He pointed to the specific people,
es those redeemed by God's powerful
hand.
b. He asked that God would pros
per his way and grant htm mercy la
the sight of the king. This was a
part of wisdom on Nehemiah'a pert
Before going before men for considera
tion of Important interests, we should
ask God to prepare their hearts, so that
they will listen sympathetically to our
plea. This we should do in all things,
and we can do it, when our own hearts
are right, and we see the good of eth
ers and not that of ourselves,
