The One Year Bible - Day 226

A bittersweet day today. The people are being reminded of the book of the law of Moses and it understandably makes them weep as they realise how far they have fallen. Nehemiah then tells everyone not to mourn but to celebrate because of the opportunity to make things right again. I guess we sometimes get things the wrong way round, we celebrate when we have nothing much to be proud of and then get miserable despite living in victory over sin. Oh that we would be more in tune to the Spirit.
