1 Chronicles 10:1-11:47; Ezekiel 12:1-28; John 4:1-30
Remember me, O my God, for good. Nehemiah 13:31
Nehemiah closes his book with this very brief prayer. Such prayers permeate the book as a whole and teach us that he was a man who was truly in touch with God. The fact that his story is recorded on the pages of Scripture shows that this prayer was answered positively. God remembered him for good and so do we! If we should be called home before the rapture how will we be remembered? Will we, like Nehemiah, be remembered for our communion with and devotion to the Lord? —Philip A. Kaye
Remember me,
O my God, for good,
May I have lived
Just as I should. —Philip Kaye
