I shared some reflections a few weeks ago. Although I've been a Bible learner and disciple of Christ for many years, I do not yet have this walk figured out. It's filled with missteps and mistakes, and even when I re-read some of my prior posts, I can see how I could have represented the truth more fully and adequately. It is humbling to know that God still brings truth even in our tiny bit of understanding.
Today, we start a Bible study I've refused to write for months. It is a chapter out of my dark soul and a testament to the bright communion God showed me over a long, swarthy night. I know I need to sit still and get some of the messy, messy work God has graciously done down on paper. I dread it and welcome it all in one.
As we learn from chapter 8 of Nehemiah this week, you will see how the Word of God is emphasized and how the people hear from God. I have inserted prayerful prompts for you throughout this study. I would encourage you to not rush through this week's study. Instead, find a quiet spot, free from distractions, and ask God to speak to You.
