The Book of
NEHEMIAH
King James Version Holy Bible.
NEHEMIAH, contemporary of Ezra and cupbearer to the king in the Persian palace, leads the third and last return to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. His concern for the welfare of Jerusalem and its inhabitants prompts him to take bold action. Granted permission to return to his homeland, Nehemiah challenges his countrymen to arise and rebuild the shattered wall of Jerusalm. In spite of opposition from without and abuse from within, the task is completed in only fifty-two days, a feat even the enemies of Isreal must attribute to God's enabling. By contrast, the risk of reviving and reforming the people of God within the rebuilt wall demands years of Nehemiah's godly life and leadership.
The Hebrew for Nehemiah is Nehemyah, "Comfort of Yahweh." The book is named after its chief character, whose name appears in the opening verse. The combined book of Ezra-Nehemiah is given the Greek title Esdras Deuteron, "Second Esdras" in Septuagint, a third-century B.C. Greek language translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. The Latinn title of Nehemiah is Liber Secundus Esdrae, "Second Book of Ezra" (Ezra was the first)/ At this point, it is considered a seperate book from Ezra, and is later called Liber Nehemiae, "Book of Nehemiah."
DAY 26
Genesis 2 : 8
And the Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden; and there he put the
man whom he had formed.
The ground is so dry. Red clay dirt in this part of the country. Walking behind my tiller, dust flying in all directions.
It's a job keeping my tiller up and running year after year. Draining the gas from it every Fall, so the gas does not set and become stale. Stale gas can gum up the motor. Every year making sure it has fresh gas and fresh oil.
Tillers are expensive pieces of gardening equipment.
Every year I start my tiller and put it into gear, walking behind it as it turns this red clay soil over.
Thoughts of the perfect garden flow through my mind. Where am I going to plant my tomatoes, corn, okra, and beans. Remembering how nice the preceeding gardens have always been to me. I think every gardener likes to remember and to plan.
It takes a good deal of planning to have the perfect garden. Do you garden?
Have you ever wondered what it was like for God when He planned the first garden?
Eden, truly must have been perfect. Everything our Heavenly Father does is perfect and devine. Have you ever wondered what it must have been like for Adam and Eve to live in such a wonderful and beautiful place that was created by our Savior.
God provides all of His children with what they need.
Prayer suggestion. As you walk through the beautiful grass take a real look at all that is and thank Him. Thank Him for the little things. Thank Him for the big things in your life.
