Psalm 9:13

After 70 years of exile, the Jewish people return to Israel to build back what was torn down. How does Nehemiah rebuild it? How did he recruit, train, and empower the Jewish people?

The Book of Psalms is known as the Bible's songbook — Jesus knew the psalms intimately, and relied on them to face every situation, including his death.

Each day readers will encounter a fresh, inspiring lesson from one of the most beloved books in the Bible.
