Rebuilding a broken world #8 - How to handle discipline

From Nehemiah 9:1-38

God uses trouble to protect us, inspect us and correct us.

There are three ways to handle us distresses:
1. show your sorrow (vv. 9:1-3)
2. eliminate your excuses (vv. 9:32-34)
3. make your commitments (vv. 9:38; 10:28-39)

Commitments that really make a difference are: personal, public, and practical. Three commitments we should keep:

• We will obey God in our homes (v. 10:30)
• We will obey God... on His day (v. 10:31a)
• We will obey God... with our treasure (v. 10:32-39)
