The Character of God!


After the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem was completed the Israelites got together and praised God. You can read their prayer in Nehemiah chapter 9


It tells us so much about God – Who He is and what He has done.It reveals to us so much about God's character.




You see in almost every verse and often more than once, – they refer to God, the Lord, You, Your!
