Nehemiah 9 is a wonderful passage displaying Israel
when they were in accordance with God. The people of Israel
were fasting, confessing their sins before God, and listening with attentive
hearts to the reading of the Law. Then the praising begins.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani,
Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and
bless the Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting. Blessed
be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
6 “You are the Lord, you alone. You
have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the
earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you
preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.
Nehemiah 9:5-6
After the praising comes a brief history of how God has
delivered and judged Israel ,
which I think is a very good example to all of us. Praise and remember, praise
and remember.
Remember - so that we can think correctly about the present
and the future.
Praise - for He has dealt mercifully and loved abundantly.
