Passage: Nehemiah 10 (ESV)

Episode Title: A People Set Apart Again, Renewed Commitment to God

Show Summary
Welcome to Reading the Bible Daily with Dave. I am Dave Jenkins, and today is Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Yesterday in Nehemiah 9, we saw God’s people confess their sin, remember His faithfulness, and renew their covenant before Him. It was a powerful moment of humility, worship, and repentance. Today in Nehemiah 10, we see the natural next step of true repentance, covenant obedience. The people do not stop at confession, they make concrete commitments to live differently. They bind themselves together under God’s Word, determined to walk in holiness, keep the Sabbath, honor their marriages, give generously, and support the temple and its ministry. This chapter reminds us that repentance is not just feeling sorrow over sin but submitting our lives to God afresh. True revival leads to obedient living. Let us turn to Nehemiah 10 and see how God’s people respond to His grace with renewed devotion.

Conclusion

Thanks for joining me today on Reading the Bible Daily with Dave. Nehemiah 10 teaches us that true revival does not stop at confession, it produces obedient lives, committed hearts, and joyful stewardship for God’s glory. Tomorrow, we continue our journey through Nehemiah as we see God’s people living in the joy of restored worship and renewed identity.
