A Glimpse of Grace Nehemiah 1-9 2Chronicles 36:21  The land    enjoyed its Sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah. Redemptive prayer is not about  us and them; it is only about us!         The Spirit of God brings a grace to empower the project when it’s done in His time. Verse 10-11Do not grieve (feel pain) for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Verse 12 the people then began to celebrate and rejoice with great joy because they had now understood the words that had been made known to them. It takes great faith to enter His presence with joy when your soul wants to weep. It’s hard to celebrate His goodness when you don’t know you have been accepted. In the world we rejoice because we have joy. But in the Kingdom we have joy because we rejoice! Phil. 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 1Thess. 1:6 You became imitators     of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. Verse 12 they rejoiced with GREAT JOY because the understood        the words.
