A Survey of Nehemiah
Nehemiah is one of the great lesser-knowns of the Bible. A man of great zeal, Nehemiah also exhibited tenderness toward the Lord that balanced his character like few people in Scripture. Nehemiah was a man who saw a need—a need to travel from his home in Babylon and rebuild the destroyed walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah couldn’t do this alone; he needed the king’s support. And with much prayer, he approached the king and received the backing he needed. What Nehemiah didn’t realize was that his toughest tasks were still before him.
