Preparatory Retirement
Homiletic Commentary
Nehemiah 2:11
So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.


God's servants frequently thus retired for deliberation before entering upon arduous tasks. Moses, Paul, Christ Himself. Nehemiah's retirement —

I.  Gave him time TO LOOK ROUND.

II.  Gave him time TO LOOK FORWARD.

III.  Gave him time TO LOOK WITHIN.

IV.  Gave him time TO LOOK UPWARD.

(Homiletic Commentary.)
