Day 140: COVENANT, Reform, and Vigilance in Nehemiah 10-13 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 140 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we conclude Nehemiah with chapters 10-13. The people seal a covenant to obey God’s Law, dedicating themselves to worship and purity. Nehemiah’s reforms address neglect in the temple and Sabbath violations, but ongoing compromise reveals the need for persistent faithfulness in God’s restored community.

Questions:
1. The covenant in chapter 10 commits the people to specific acts of obedience—how does this intentional pledge challenge us to consider the role of deliberate choices in sustaining a vibrant relationship with God?

2. Nehemiah’s reforms in chapters 12-13 confront neglect and sin—how might his zeal prompt us to reflect on the necessity of ongoing vigilance to protect our devotion from worldly influences?

3. The book ends with Nehemiah’s prayer for God’s remembrance despite setbacks—how does this plea invite us to wrestle with the tension between human frailty and the hope of God’s enduring faithfulness to His people?
