TaNaK Tuesdays

I would encourage you to find a passage of Scripture in the Old Testament that you are not very familiar with. Maybe one of the Minor Prophets or something. It is always fun to read something that you are not really familiar with. Go ahead, right now, go to the index in your Bible and scan down and look to a book you have no idea about. Maybe stick with a shorter book. Find one that catches your eye and then read it! Try to find out some background on it. Perhaps you have some study helps in your Bible or you can look online. Read over the book and then determine the answers to these two broad questions: What does this book tell me about God? What does this book tell me about God's people?
I eagerly await your responses on what you discovered.

Nehemiah:
It tells me that God is faithful to his people and gives favor to those who put their hands to building the kingdom of God.
A servant of the King, Nehemiah, grieved when he heard the walls of Jerusalem were destroyed. He began a work to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. He had favor with his earthly King and Heavenly King and built the wall with others in 52 days. 50,000 were able to move back to the land thier fathers were buried.
