This morning we take a look at a man who gave up comfort, security, and power - to follow God’s will. This morning we look at the man, Nehemiah.

There are many mythical creatures in human history, including dragons, unicorns, the Loch Ness Monster, the Abominable Snowman, and my personal favorite, Bigfoot. Also known as Sasquatch, this ten-foot-tall humanoid ape is said to roam the forests of the United States. On this date in 1967, a 60-second film was made in Northern California of an alleged Bigfoot. You’ve probably seen it. But for most folks, especially skeptics like me, it looks like nothing more than a big guy in a gorilla suit.

Have you heard the biblical term “song of ascents”? It’s applied to Psalms 120-134. These 15 psalms are almost all brief and almost all of a positive nature. Theologians theorize that they were recited by pilgrims on their way “up” to Jerusalem for holy days. The Holy City is 2700 feet above sea level, higher than all the areas surrounding it, so a journey there was always an uphill trek. Psalm 133 is one of my favorite “climbing” songs.

This morning we focus on a famous, beautiful, and inspiring passage of scripture - I Peter 2:1-5. Take a look.

“Rid yourself of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to Him - the Living Stone - rejected by men but chosen by God, you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house.”

Yesterday I was sipping my morning coffee, sitting in my porch swing, when an intruder came onto my property. My place is bounded by woods, and from out of the woods came a young deer. She took a leisurely stroll across my yard and then disappeared into the woods on the other side. We’re in a dry spell here in deep East Texas so maybe she was looking for water. There’s a pond back in those woods and I imagined her dipping her head down to sip her morning drink.
