    A father is that special man who not only loves his children unconditionally, but also knows what his children need and
provides it. He seeks God’s guidance in being the father needed by his children. God chose Nehemiah to act as an earthly father
to His children in Jerusalem. When Nehemiah hears that his people are suffering great “affliction and reproach,” as any good
and godly father would do, Nehemiah weeps for his children and prays to his Heavenly Father and presents their plight before
Him. God honors Nehemiah with the plan to relieve His children’s suffering and renew their right relationship with God.
Nehemiah did all that God directed him to do for God’s children. Nehemiah is a mighty example to all fathers who are completely
faithful to God, to His plan, and to His children.
