Calvary Temple
He gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called ‘trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord’, that HE might be glorified.

Nehemiah's Prayer Mirrors the Lord's Prayer
The comparison of these two prayers, Nehemiah 9 led by the Levites and Mattthew 6, taught by Jesus, teaches us very similar attitudes of prayer. They include the importance of our complete dependence upon God—for daily needs. They both teach us to highlight God’s faithfulness to us in times past, the need for us to confess our sin, and certainly the requirement by God for humility when we come before him. And they both show us the blessed hope we have in God to live in this world, according to His will.
