The name Nehemiah means the Lord’s comfort. God used this man to do just that for His people in a time when they needed comfort the most. As a nation they had been in exile many years. Nehemiah himself lived in a city eight hundred miles from his home land and Jerusalem.

It would be easy to just get detached, desensitized, and leave well enough alone. However, the Lord had other plans in mind. There was a place to go and things to do.
