Today we begin the book of Nehemiah. It is historically the last book of the Old Testament and records the history of the third return to Jerusalem after captivity. The main story tells how the walls of the city were rebuilt and the faith of the people was renewed. This book was probably written by Nehemiah and Ezra. The book opens up with Nehemiah recognizing the need to rebuild the walls and the struggle against those who did not want it rebuilt. Sometimes we know things must be fixed or changed in our lives, but there are people who choose to put up obstacles instead of helping to fix our issues. It is times like these where we need to press forward and do what is right regardless of whether someone chooses to help us or not. Focusing on God is what we ultimately need to fix everything anyway.
