Four interesting quotes from about the Old Testament Book of Nehemiah:
Charles Spurgeon
“Nehemiah teaches us that when God calls a man to build, no opposition can finally prevail against him, for prayer and perseverance are stronger than all the enemies of the wall.”
Matthew Henry
“The success of Nehemiah’s work was owing more to his piety than to his policy; he prayed over all, and then set his hand to the work.”
F. B. Meyer
“Nehemiah shows what God can do through one consecrated soul who feels the burden of His people and will not rest until the ruins are rebuilt.”
Derek Kidner
“Nehemiah’s story is a reminder that renewal requires courage, vigilance, and above all a heart aligned with the purposes of God.”
