Nehemiah's Story
Nehemiah lived in the city of Susa and worked in King Artaxerxes' palace, He was a special helper to the king, Everyday Nehemiah faithfully served the King. One day, Nehemiah's brother came to visit, He told Nehemiah some sad news about the city of Jerusalem where their family had once lived, His brother said, "The walls and gates surrounding the city have fallen down. The people are in trouble." This news troubled Nehemiah. He wanted to help, but he didn't know how so he prayed and asked God what he should do. Later, when Nehemiah was serving King Artaxerxes, the King noticed that Nehemiah looked sad. He asked Nehemiah why he was so sad, Nehemiah told the King, "The city where my people lived has been destroyed and the gates are torn down. The King asked Nehemiah what he wanted to do. Nehemiah prayed and asked God what to say to the King. He told the King "Please let me go home and rebuild Jerusalem's walls and gates." The King wanted to help him, so he allowed him to go to Jerusalem to work to repair the city. He even helped get the lumber Nehemiah would need.
When Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem, he rode around the city to see what needed to be done. Then he told the people he had returned to Jerusalem to rebuild its walls and gates. He also told them he would need lots of help. People from all over helped with this huge building project. Imagine it with me, Bang! Bang! Bang! went the hammers, Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! went the saws. The people worked hard and in 52 days the walls and gates were finished. The people celebrated and worshiped God because now they had a secure wall and strong gates around their city. Nehemiah was thankful that God had used him to help do this important work. We would be honored if you would help us with what He has asked us to do.
