Pray to God before reading. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand and receive his Word today.
Help me now, O Lord, to know Your Word and Your will better so that I may obey them.

Nehemiah 6:1-7:3

[1] Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem, and our other enemies learned that I had completely rebuilt the wall. All I lacked was hanging the doors in the gates. [2] Then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message, asking me to meet with them in one of the villages in Ono Valley. I knew they were planning to harm me in some way. [3] So I sent messengers to tell them, " My work is too important to stop now and go there. I can't afford to slow down the work just to visit with you." [4] They invited me four times, but each time I refused to go.
