VERSES:
Deuteronomy 29:29
The
secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed
belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this
law.
Lolotonga ‘a e langa ‘aa na’e fakahoko, na’e ha mahino

kakai na’e fiema’u ki he ngaue ki hono toe langa ‘o e ‘aa ‘o Selusalema. Ko e fakatu’utamaki ‘o hono ‘ohofi ‘o e kolo,
na’e fiema’u ai mo kinautolu ha kau tangata ke nau malu’i ‘a e fonua. Na’e hoko foki mo ha palopalema

‘Ikai ko ia pe, ka na’e mahu’inga ke solova ‘a e palopalema ko ‘eni

Na’e mahino ki he kakai ko e founga lelei taha ki he ngaue ko ‘enau fai

‘I he taimi ‘oku fakahoko ai ‘e he kakai ‘a e ‘Otua ‘a e ngaue ‘a e
‘Otua ‘i he ivi ‘o e ‘Otua, ‘oku ‘a e ‘Otua pe ‘a e kololia mo e
langilangi.
During
the building program, Nehemiah learned of social injustice among the Jewish
population. The number of workers needed to rebuild Jerusalem's wall was
immense. The danger of attack required an equal number of men for military service.
The economic strain created by pulling so many able-bodied workers from the
regular labor force gave way to corruption. Some Jews took advantage of other Jews
to increase their profits. Nehemiah knew that the wall would not be completed unless
the needs of the people were met. But more importantly, he knew that the
rebuilding of the "spiritual city" would never be completed unless he
faced the issues at hand. Despite external opposition and internal problems,
the people continued to build the wall. Finally, the work was finished. It had
taken only 52 days. From the beginning, Nehemiah had put the matter of
rebuilding Jerusalem's wall in God's hands. God's people had determined that
the best answer to their opposition was to keep working and to fulfill God's will.
As they did so, neighboring nations saw God's power at work in them. When God's
people accomplish God's
work
in God's strength, God gets the glory.
