So what is your temp?

In Nehemiah 5-8, we see justified anger at taking advantage of others, as well as keeping a cool head when accused. Nehemiah chastized the people of Judah for oppressing other Jewish people with interest on loans. Chairty and helping others should be a foremost concern! Later in ch 6, Nehemiah is challenged by false accusations. Rather than panic or pursue action in violation of God's law, Nehemiah relies on God's strength. So which area are you dealing with today? Are you unknowingly oppressing others? Or are you being unjustly challenged? How do Nehemiah's actions/reactions compare with yours? Good temperature check for us.....
