[Rev. Philip]
Nehemiah 2:8
When Nehemiah heard about the state of the temple of Jerusalem, he wept out. He was so concerned about others. This is the reason he asked and enquired about others and cried out when he heard of this state.
If you hide your sins, it will grow and will become visible one day. You should confess your sins.
Nehemiah could’ve shut his eyes and ignored the state of Jerusalem, because he was away from Jerusalem and wouldn’t be able to do it. But he decided to act.
After the sermon on the mount, Jesus didn’t want to send them back empty stomach.. The 5 loaves and 2 fishes were enough to satisfy all their needs.
When wings to enable us soar high is arranged for you, are you just asking Him for a walking stick? This is the truth in our lives. God has kept a lot ready for us and we ask Him for petty things.
Nehemiah believed that God was with him. God is with each of us, but do we realize this? When he had finished inspecting the walls, some people came to threaten him. When you start God’s work, there will be a lot of obstacles. This is true in our lives. Satan is running around like a hungry lion, waiting to eat the hapless.
A kite builds its nest right on top of a big tree. Once the chicks are ready to fly, the mother removes twigs from the nest. When the chicks fall and don’t fly till they reach the ground, the mother takes them back.
A man on top of a 5-storey building wanted some things from the ground floor. He tried calling out to people walking on the street to help him, but they couldn’t hear him. He had 2 coins, so he decided to use them to get attention. He threw the first coin; a man walking below found it and pocketed it without looking up. The same thing happened with the next coin too. Then he learnt a lesson. He threw a stone on the next man; and he looked up. Similarly, hardships in our lives are for us to look up to our God. We don’t tend to see Him when He gives us only blessings.
When you know a person personally, you will read a book written by him with full interest. Similarly, only when we have fellowship with our God, we will read the Bible properly.
A mother goes to the person who saved her son’s life and says “Why didn’t you save his cap too?” This is how we react to God too. He gave His son to rescue us and we ask Him why he didn’t give us the luxury we want.
A fish seller wanted a board saying “Fresh fish sold here”. The painter said,

- Why do you need “Fresh”? Will some one buy stale fish?
- Why do you need “here”? Where else will they buy?
- Why do you need “sold”? Will you give it for free?
- Why do you need “fish”? From one mile away, every one will get to know that fish are sold here.
