    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 9, 2025
     | 197 views

    Worshipers of false gods, to the Hebrew mind, were idiots. But that is not the whole story.

    Friday of the Thirty-second Week Integral Our Introit antiphon today is a prayer that both our Hebrew forefathers and we would recognize as one we are at least tempted to use daily: Let my prayer come into your presence; incline your ear to my cry for help, O Lord.

    Sheep have unique characteristics. Some you may know about and others may surprise you. The Bible refers to us as christians as being the sheep of His pasture. Let us see how much we act like sheep.

    It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react with anger, ridicule, and rejection. Nehemiah gives us a great example of how we need to respond when the enemies of God oppose His work.

    In this lesson, I would like to look at the leadership of Nehemiah through the hardship and opposition that the people went through. They had opposition from outside and discouragement from inside, yet they got the job done. It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react ...read more
