Nehemiah 4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not you afraid of them… Consider — I. THE POWER OF MEMORY. II. THE APPLICATION OF THE TEXT TO OURSELVES. 1. Parents should remember that God regards them as stewards, to whom are committed the care, the instruction, and the discipline of their offspring. 2. Children should remember that forgetfulness of the claims of home, of a father, of a mother, is a forgetfulness of God. 3. Employers should "remember the Lord" in the example which He furnishes of gentleness, patience, kindness, forbearance, and deep humility. 4. Servants should "remember the Lord," that He "took upon Him the form of a servant." Conclusion: Remember the promises He has made, the deliverances He has wrought, the blessings He has conferred, the invitations He has given, and the relations He now fills. Remember Him — in calamity to trust Him, in prosperity to praise Him, in danger to call upon Him, in difficulty to expect His interference. Remember Him, for it is your duty, it is your privilege. Remember Him, for He never forgets you. (W. Horwood.) Parallel Verses KJV: And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. |
