October 11 Nehemiah 8-10 Repentance and Recommitment

Today, we read about a great day of repentance (sorrow for sins and a wont to not sin anymore). We also get a great summary of the history of Israel - God's great faithfulness and patience and the Israelites great unfaithfulness. So after exile, living under a foreign government in near slavery, and after the hearing of God's word, the people are cut to the heart, understand their situation clearly, and repent.

Today is a great day to reflect on our own life - to see God's faithfulness and to consider how faithful we were in response. Do we need to confess? Do we need to repent? Do we need a re-commitment?
