Nehemiah 1:7 - Additional Comments
Notice Nehemiah doesn't blame God for the demise of Israel, even though He let it happen. He warned them many times (e.g. Deut 32:21). God allowed it, but it was the result of their sins, and Nehemiah recognized this. Don't blame others for the consequences of your sin. That's like blaming a police officer for arresting you because of a crime you've committed. We have so many in society today who don't accept their own culpability in sin - it seems like it's never their fault. We see parents in schools who yell at school officials for punishing their children, not at their children for their faults. Admit it when you err! Accept that the results of the sin are because of you!
