What do you think?

This week I am not going to write anything about the passage in Lectio, except to provide some background.

I would like to invite you to  share how the passage speaks to you about difficult situations.

The background is that God let Israel be taken into exile because of the wrong they did; whilst they were in exile Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. Some have already retuned to Jerusalem and started to rebuild the temple and here we find Nehemiah - who is in exile - receiving news about the condition of Jerusalem...

This passage reminds me of a parenting course I attend a long time ago. The strapline was "Actions have consequences." This is so true in both the going into exile phase and the returning to God part too. Consequences don't have to "bad" one, but good ones too. Even though they were still going through hard times, they began to know the faithfulness of God as they begin to return and to rebuild.
