Sometimes God has to throw a “brick” to get our attention. In a world where it’s easy to stay absorbed in ourselves, Nehemiah’s example reminds us to look outward. Though living far away in Babylon, Nehemiah he cared deeply about the plight of God’s people in Jerusalem. He asked, he wept, he prayed, and he acted.
In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy challenges us to resist living with closed hearts and distracted minds. Instead, like Nehemiah, we’re called to bear the burdens of others and inquire about their welfare. True godliness pays attention.
Key Scripture: Nehemiah 1:1–11
