Nehimiah 1 Commentary and reply

Bible Gateway Commentary , Matthew Henry's Commentary on Nehimiah 1

2. He pleads the relation wherein of old they stood to God: “These are thy servants and thy people (Neh. 1:10), whom thou hast set apart for thyself, and taken into covenant with thee. Wilt thou suffer thy sworn enemies to trample upon and oppress thy sworn servants? If thou wilt not appear for thy people, whom wilt thou appear for?” See Isa. 63:19. As an evidence of their being God’s servants he gives them this character (Neh. 1:11): “They desire to fear thy name; they are not only called by thy name, but really have a reverence for thy name; they now worship thee, and thee only, according to thy will, and have an awe of all the discoveries thou art pleased to make of thyself; this they have a desire to do,” which denotes, (1.) Their good will to it. “It is their constant care and endeavour to be found in the way of their duty, and they aim at it, though in many instances they come short.” (2.) Their complacency in it. “They take pleasure to fear thy name (so it may be read), not only do their duty, but do it with delight.” Those shall graciously be accepted of God that truly desire to fear his name; for such a desire is his own work.

Now we have a scoreboard: legal documentation
Whites 2.     Blacks 1 ( we still have President Barack Obama. I'm sure it's a slap in the face for most of the whites, but thank God he got in, helped HealthCare, Immigrarion, and got Bin Laden. He's a Constitutional Lawyer and very smart. I pray for his leadership and guidance for our country. He has had to work with evil for many years. He knows it when he sees it. Good white people exist and good people in general exist, but just like the good exist, don't forget evil exist. Notice that the black men who make it in this world are the ones that don't scare white people, and men of authority, like the ones who come face to face with poor people everyday and forget they have rights too. Everyone could or should have been alert to the coaching done to the cop. Not to even indict for the least cause says so much. You work on our time schedule, we release the info when we want, and we control your every movement. His word against a multitude of witnesses, but all the witnesses are black, and we know their word can't be trusted. They lie and steal. He just stole cigarillos, I saw them in his hand. He scared me and he was stronger than me, even though we are about the same size, he's a big black man and I was scared of him. He stole and I killed him and I got married and feel just fine. Dear God, Dear God, Dear God. Lord if not now, when?
