Nehemiah 10
Promises are made to be broken. That is a common phrase that we hear today in many circles. There is an underlying belief that if one says the right words someone else will do what I wish or want. Often today the intent of a promise is just to create peace with selfish motives. In the book of Nehemiah we have seen the wall finished and now begins the process of rebuilding the people. The people have responded to the leaders with a desire to hear God’s word and in this chapter they make a covenant or promise to God. God has always been faithful and the people finally come to the point of realizing that they must value their relationship with God, practice a trusting rest in God, and commit to invest in God’s work. A promise is made to be kept. God is always faithful to keep His promises. Are we faithful in keeping our promises to Him?
