‘Sadness Shows.’
Nehemiah 2:2.
a) Nehemiah’s master, the king, Nehemiah was his cup bearer could see that Nehemiah was sad.
b) The king new that Nehemiah was not sick, but he looked sick because of the sadness.
c) Nehemiah looked like a man with deep troubles.
d) Then, after the king’s comments, Nehemiah became full of fear. So often one negative emotion can lead to another if we do nothing about it.
(Through this QT I can see that Sadness Shows, as True Believers we need to come to the Lord when we are sad, whatever the reason for our sadness, and the Lord will help us and comfort us)

c) People who are corrupt in their dealings.
d) Murderers.
e) Immoral people.
f) People who practice witchcraft.
g) Idol worshippers.
