Today: [Nehemiah Five] When Money Problems Halt the Work of God. In this chapter we see the rebuilding of the walls is halted because of a famine. The poor of the land cry out against the unfair lending practices of the wealthier classes. Unity is destroyed and Nehemiah is expected to solve the problem. The more things change the more they stay the same. Financial problems among God’s people can destroy relationships and get our eyes off of God. We can learn from Nehemiah’s wise handling of this situation.
