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, I want to show you something before June 1 gets here. Because Summer in the Psalms isn't just a reading plan — it's a rhythm. And coming off our weekly Thessalonians study, daily is going to feel different. Not harder. Just closer. More intimate. One Psalm, one day, one conversation with God at a time. Here's how each day works: 1. Read it. Open your journal and read the Psalm in the KJV — the text is already printed inside for you. No extra books needed. 2. Watch it. Head over to the...

Hey Reader, We’ve officially wrapped up our Thessalonians study. And if you were part of that study, I want to say thank you for showing up, for asking questions, for doing the work of being a student of the Word. That kind of intentionality doesn't go unnoticed. But if I know this family at all, you're already asking: what's next? Here's what's next. Starting June 1, we're walking through Psalms 51–100 together — one Psalm a day, 60 days, as a community. If you were with us last summer for...

Hey Reader,Most of us don't walk away from the Word dramatically.We just stop having somewhere to go with it. The study ends. Life fills back in. And somewhere between Sunday and Sunday, our Bible stays closed. Not because we don't want to open it or stop caring, but because there’s no structure pulling us back and no one studying alongside us. It’s easy for that to feel like “falling away.” But it’s really the beginning of something more subtle and more dangerous. Drifting. I’ve learned that...
