0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net. |
0:30.4 | For the good of that city, for the good of the people across that city, for the glory of God's name, |
0:35.8 | among the nations surrounding Jerusalem. The Nehemiah says, remember for my good, oh my God, |
0:43.6 | all that I've done for this people. And you start to wonder when you read this was. I mean, |
0:49.5 | is this selfish of Nehemiah? It wants to be remembered by God for something, but when you think about |
0:55.5 | it, isn't this what we live for? I don't you and I want to live for the day when we'll stand |
1:03.7 | before God and buy His grace only by His good hand upon us, which is what Nehemiah has already |
1:12.1 | emphasized. Don't we want to hear God look at our lives in the past? Well done. Good and faithful |

2:16.1 | with grace. We know you want to say that to us on that day and you promise to give us everything we |
2:21.7 | need to be good and faithful servants. So God, help us to live today toward that end that even at |
2:30.3 | the end of today, when we lay our heads on our pillows tonight that we would have lived in such a way |
2:36.9 | you might say, well done, good and faithful servant by your grace in us today. God, |
2:43.6 | we pray that you'd help us to live for this every day that we might lie our heads on our pillows |
2:49.0 | at night, hearing these words from you and having lived by your grace in such a way that these |
2:55.0 | words are true of us. God, please, may it be so on a daily basis and anticipation of the day when |
