I don't have a lot to add to this chapter. No great insights came to mind.
I did like how careful Nehemiah was about doing the right thing.....not just to "do" the right thing, but to make sure he isn't seen in a bad light, and therefore discredited. Its probably something I should pay more attention to. It goes back to the question; will people notice that I'm different than everyone else. If not, I'm probably not doing a good job at following God. There would be no doubt to anyone around that Nehemiah was following God. He made decisions, and even sacrifices, that made it very apparent.
I would like to think that I look a little different than most (insert joke here), but I wouldn't say its obvious.
have a GREAT Easter!
I love ya.

Another example of him going to God in prayer and having confidence that God will act.
Happy Easter to you too!
