Nehemiah 2:12-20 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem… Take your own measure of the destitution of the world. Every Christian man should go about in the world, so far As he is able to do so, by the aid of reports — to take his own measure of the situation — steal out by night and see what the devil has done with this human nature of ours, and he should say, "God helping me, I will do my utmost to undo this mischief and to repair the shattered house of the Lord." (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. |
