Nehemiah 9 KJT
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the
mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the
trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our
princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on
all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day...
38 And because of all this we make a sure
covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
Nehemiah 10
28 ¶And the rest of the people, the priests,
the Levites, the porters, the asingers, the Nethinims, and all they that had
separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their
wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
understanding;
29 They clave to their brethren, their
nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which
was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the
commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes...
----------
Their confession: "Now therefore, our
God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and
mercy..."
Their response:
- "We make a sure covenant, and write
it..."
- "They clave to their brethren..."
-
"They entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's
law..."
1. "We make a sure covenant, and write
it..."
- what's a covenant?
- what is a sure covenant?
- why is it a sure?
2. "... all they that had separated
themselves from the people of the lands..."
- separated from something...
- cleave to another.
- have you?
3. "... every one having knowledge, and
having understanding... "
- of what?
- have you?
4. "... They clave to their brethren,
their nobles... "
- will you?
- have you?
5. "... entered into a curse"
- what's this?
- will you? have you?
6. " ... and [entered] into an
oath..."
- what's this?
- will you? have you?
7. What did they covenant to do?
- Are you in covenant with a community of God's
saints?
- How do you view your covenant with them?
Consider these things.
May the Lord richly bless each one who does
so. Amen.
