The walls had been
rebuilt. Now, they were “dedicated” to God (Nehemiah 12:27). Was a time
of great joy (Nehemiah 12:27,43). The people of God sand “songs of
praise and thanksgiving to God” (Nehemiah 12:46). As well as singing
praise to God, the Lord’s people listened to His Word (Nehemiah 13:1).
Sometimes, after happy times among God’s people, there can be a time of
decline - “Why is God’s Temple being neglected?” (Nehemiah 13:11). We
must not live in the past. Our walk with God must continue. There must
be an ongoing fellowship with the Lord. If there is to be a closer walk
with God, we must always remember that this is not our own doing. It is
the loving kindness of God, reaching out to us: “Remember Me ... My God
... Since You are very kind” (Nehemiah 13:22). His kindness brings
blessing into our lives: “Remember me, my God, for my benefit” (Nehemiah
13:31).
