The heart of Nehemiah is shown in these verses. His willingness to provide for the poor and continue with the burden of rebuilding the Wall of Jerusalem. A wall that was dismantled and broken apart. A community in deep disrepair. A wall that now held no defense against the enemy. A wall that seemed to be unrepairable by some but not Nehemiah. He came because of the burden he felt from the Lord about Jerusalem and her physical condition that also mirrored her spiritual condition.
