NEHEMIA 9:6

Gratitude: A 5-day devotional from Brandon Lake. - "Thank you.” What a simple phrase, and yet, it carries such weight. Join me on a five-day deep dive into the purpose, power, and potential of thanking God through every season of our lives. Gratitude is a heart posture, and it impacts not only our own spirits, but the spirits of those around us. More importantly, it’s the most deserving gift we can offer to the Lord. Thanks for coming along, y’all.

This week, we will overview the Book of Nehemiah, learning from his godly and powerful example and seeing how, through Nehemiah's story, we can be men who better engage with God and others. Written by J.R. Hudberg.

Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture & the Arts is pleased to share the annual Advent Project, a daily devotional series celebrating the beauty and meaning of the Advent season through art, music, poetry, prayer, Scripture, and written devotions. The project starts on the first day of Advent and continues through Epiphany. Our goal is to help individuals quiet their hearts and enter into a daily routine of worship and reflection during this meaningful but often hectic season. Our prayer is that the project will help ground you in the unsurpassable beauty, mystery, and miracle of the Word made flesh.

Along with Ezra, Nehemiah chronicles the post-exilic history of Israel. Nehemiah's leadership helped resettle Israelites in the land and rebuild Jerusalem's walls. However, Nehemiah's greatest legacy was a renewed national identity rooted in repentance of sin and obedience to God.
