How many times have we experienced God’s answers to prayer, and then returned to our original ways shortly after He gave us relief? God has been so patient with us. Let us no longer shrug our shoulders and stiffen our necks. Let us return to Him and continue steadfastly in His ways. Do you have a…

Nehemiah 9:5-17. Just as the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, so we were spiritually slaves of sin and in hopelessness. God, in His great mercy, looked on our affliction and redeemed us.
