Study 6 From the Book of Nehemiah is: Nehemiah 6
1.
Nehemiah’s
enemies now tried intrigue. The proposal to confer together is often an
attractive one. What made Nehemiah persistently refuse it? Contrast Eve’s folly in discussing the
question raised by the serpent (Gn. 3:1-5). Do you ever parley with questions
that should never be allowed consideration?
2.
What
were the special subtleties of the attempts to ensnare Nehemiah? Notice how
Nehemiah’s singleness of purpose and loyalty to God were as a shield about him.
What may we learn from this?
Note. Verse 5.
‘An open letter’: so that others besides Nehemiah might see its
contents.
