If you are anything like me, you tend to find these long
lists of names that crop up periodically in the Bible rather tedious. However,
there is a serious point to them. Here the keeping of records in the past
enabled Nehemiah to help restore things to the way they were meant to be. One
of the most common emotions is to think that God has forgotten or overlooked
us. Jesus tells us that every hair on our head is counted and that not one sparrow
falls from the sky without God knowing about it. God cares and knows much more
than we imagine. He remembers things. When the enemy seeks to upset God's
plans, and even seems to succeed, we can be confident that he will not succeed.
God will restore things to the way they were meant to be.
