BY She Reads Truth
Text: Nehemiah 9:17b
We long to be a community who not only reads and studies God’s Word, but also writes it on our hearts so we can lean on it throughout our day, speak truth to ourselves and others, call it to mind and have hope.
Today let’s memorize this beautiful description of our Savior and his faithfulness to us, His people:
“But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them.”
Nehemiah 9:17b
Can I get some amens?!
Jot this verse down a few times in your journal, tape it by the kitchen window or on your desk at work, save the image below as the lock screen on your phone – do whatever works best for you to allow this truth to sink into your heart and mind as you walk forward in this new week. And rejoice in a God who forgives.

What Melinda said sure rings true for me. I am in the young stages of marriage and it is nothing of what I expected. I want to be able to use the characteristics of God but it's just so hard and it seems pointless when I see no changes.

Hey Christy! Just wanted to encourage you and tell you I’m praying for you. I’m a youth pastor and newlywed as well and I know it can be hard. Keep staying in the word and pursuing God. God will change your heart and you will shine his love!

Hi Christy, I know your comment was from two years ago, but I just started this study so I came across it this morning. I want you to know that I am praying for you and your marriage. I have absolutely been there with you, in the first bit of marriage when you think, “is this it? There’s nothing more?” I hope that God has shown you that there IS more and that He can absolutely redeem it. Praying for you and your hubby.
