Nehemiah was a God-fearing Jew who was living in captivity in Babylon. He had a very important job in the palace of the king. Nehemiah served the king his wine each day. As part of this job it was very important that Nehemiah be happy in the king’s presence.
But Nehemiah had heard of the terrible condition of the city of Jerusalem and of how oppressed and sad the people of God who lived there felt. This made him very sad because Nehemiah loved God and knew that the condition of the Jews was the result of their sins and disobedience to God. He wept and prayed to God, confessing the sin of his people. In his prayers he reminded God that He had told Moses that if the people prayed and repented of their disobedience He would hear and help them no matter where they were. Nehemiah believed what God had said and, after we rest in our journey, we will see the wonderful way in which God rewarded the faith of Nehemiah.
