Nehemiah 1:11

Nehemiah 1:11

9 ^abut if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, ^bthough some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’

10 ^aNow these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand.

11 O Lord, I pray, please ^alet Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who ^bdesire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” For I was the king’s ^ccupbearer.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Nehemiah 1:10

Nehemiah 2:1 >>

To fear thy name - Those who truly desire to fear his name, shall be graciously accepted of God. This man - The king: who is but a man and therefore his heart is wholly at thy disposal. Favour with men is then comfortable, when we see it springing from the mercy of God. Cup - bearer - Whereby I had opportunity to speak to him, and some favour with him.
