Coming Clean
(Nehemiah 9:1-38)
Week of April 15, 2018

Read Nehemiah 9:1-38. Ask the Lord to speak to you through the passage.

Consider the Faith Principles from the passage and pray about them.

Faith Principle #1
Faith understands that confession leads to separation from sin.

As you seek to maintain the walls in your life, your marriage, your family and the church, do you recognize that there are influences in your life that lead to your sinning? Confess your sin to Lord. Ask the Lord to help you to identity and separate from the negative influences in your life.

Faith Principle #2
Faith must recognize who God is and what he can do.

Have you considered the reality of who God is and what he can do? Praise God for who God is and his sovereignty in this word and your life.

Faith Principle #3
Faith rests on the hope of God’s grace through Jesus Christ.

Have you considered that God does discipline you for your sin and yet he continues to show grace to his children? Praise God for his grace toward you because your sin has been forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Faith Principle #4
Faith knows that God will intervene in the lives of his children.

What level of trust do you have in God in the midst of the difficulties you are facing? Ask the Lord to help you to trust him in the midst of the difficult circumstances that you are in.
