Quarter 3: Week 6: Friday: Nehemiah 5:1-19 :
Many were saying they need grain, but others said they were draing their land by trying to get grain during the famine. They all had to borrow money just to pay the tax's of the King on their lands and such. Their sons and daughter had to sold to slavery to pay off debt and taxes. Nehemiah said what he was doing was wrong and that he should walk in the fearof the Lord. They gave back all the people and promised they wouldn't do that any more. So he became governor of Judah and did good for the people. I really don't help out the poor as much as I should. I try giving money when I can, but that doens't happen that often as I wish it would.
