Rediscovering the way it's meant to be

08/11/2015 | Dan Hudson

We can all identify with the experience of rediscovering something that we’d forgotten about or lost. Often times that brings with it an emotional response. In chapter 8 of Nehemiah we read about 4 rediscoveries that the people of Israel made, producing a strong emotional response of public weeping!

When God works with us he does it at the very deepest level, including our emotions.
