Re:Verse passage – Nehemiah 6:10-19 (day five) “And could one such as I go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.” Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him. Nehemiah discerns that this is a trap and a lie. But how? What led to this understanding? It’s really simple, Nehemiah knew the scriptures. He knew his Bible. He knows that only Priests and Temple attendants can go into the Temple building itself. He is allowed into the courts, but no further. The scriptures are indeed a light and lamp to us. They are also a guard just as much as a guide. Reading and studying the scriptures daily/regularly produces fruit and also protects us. Another facet of God’s wisdom in giving us the scriptures.
“How blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the law of the Lord.
How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.
How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word.
Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.”
Psalm 119:1-2, 9, 11
