Day 11: Nehemiah 11~Ways God Fills Our Empty Places


Hey Reader,

Have you ever felt like there were gaps or empty spaces in your life? Places that felt vulnerable to the enemy's attacks?

I know I have. But in today's powerful Bible study on Nehemiah 11, we discover how Nehemiah helped repopulate Jerusalem after the Israelites returned from exile. The enemy was looking for those empty, vulnerable places to attack, and Nehemiah knew they needed to fill the city to keep it secure.

I know it's not always easy. Following Jesus often requires sacrifice and doing difficult tasks that others may be unwilling to do. But when we say "yes" to God, even when it's hard, He will use our obedience for His glory.

Watch today's full teaching on Nehemiah 11 for more encouragement on how to live a life fully surrendered to God. And be sure to grab the Nehemiah Bible study guide to enhance your personal study time!

Let's chat in the comments: How is God challenging you to fill the empty places in your life with more of Him?

Praying for you to experience the fullness of God's presence today!

Reader, The middle of a journey has its own particular weight. The beginning had momentum. The end has a finish line in sight. But the middle — week four, day twenty-two — is where you find out what you're actually made of. If you're here, reading this, still in it — that matters more than you know. Last week, we followed David from the wilderness of Judah into worship, watching remembrance become the bridge between longing and praise. The seed we planted: when you cannot feel God's nearness,...

Reader, Three weeks of mornings given to the Word. You may not feel the cumulative weight of that yet — but something is shifting in you, whether you can name it or not. The Psalms that felt like ancient poetry at the beginning of June are starting to feel like language. Language for things you've been carrying that you didn't have words for before. That is not accidental. That is the Word doing what only the Word can do when you give it consistent, unhurried access to your heart. Last week,...

Reader, There's something about the second week of anything that tells you the truth about whether you actually want it. The excitement of day one has settled. The newness has worn off just enough that showing up now costs something it didn't cost before. If you're here — reading this, journal open or on its way — that means something. Don't underestimate it. Last week, we sat with David on the floor of Psalm 51. We watched him reach for God not after he had gotten himself together, but...
