Nehemiah 11:26 Summary
[Nehemiah 11:26 lists the villages where some of the people of Judah lived, including Jeshua, Moladah, and Beth-pelet. This verse shows that God cares about the details of our lives, including where we live, as seen in Psalm 107:4-9. Just as the people of Judah trusted in God's plan and provision, we can trust in His goodness and faithfulness in our own lives, as promised in Deuteronomy 29:9 and Jeremiah 29:11. By trusting in God, we can make our current location a place of worship and service to Him.]
