Listen up recruits! This is Nehemiah 9! A bunch of Israelites gathered together to acknowledge the mighty power of God, and to confess the sins of their ancestors. They separated themselves from all the foreigners and made a covenant with God. Then they read aloud from the Book of the Law so everyone could hear it. They made a special confession of all their sins and worshiped the Lord. They agreed to keep the commandments, laws, and decrees of the Lord. So remember: Acknowledge God's power, confess your sins, keep His commandments, and you'll be alright!
