Nehemiah was an interestig man whose account is chronicled in the Old Testament book that bears his name. He went from cupbearer to the king to governor of the exiles. He literally got in the trenches to help God's people rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Then, together with the prophet Ezra and the Levites, Nehemiah reeducated the people, teaching them God's ways. That's when he said, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." We'll examine what that meant for the people of his day and what it means for us today.
