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!

Hey Reader, As we move through Day 26 of Threads, I want to pause and remind you of something simple but powerful: gratitude is worship. No matter what this week looks like for you; whether you’re surrounded by loved ones, resting quietly, or just trying to make it through, God is present. He’s weaving goodness into every detail, even the ones that don’t make sense yet. This week, take a moment to breathe, reflect, and thank Him — not just for what’s gone right, but for His constant presence...

Hey Reader, In Day 24 of Threads, we’re reminded of one of the most beautiful and comforting images of Jesus — our Good Shepherd. In John 10:11–14, Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” These words reveal the heart of a Savior who doesn’t simply watch over His flock from a distance, but who steps into our lives with tenderness, guidance, and sacrifice. This moment in Scripture connects all the way back to David, the shepherd-king who penned...
