‘Unnecessary Suffering Of The Levites.’
Nehemiah 13:10.
a) Nehemiah learned that the Levites had not been given the offering shares that the Lord had said should be theirs.
b) The Levites and singers had to leave their regular Temple duties.
c) They had to go back and farm their own fields.
(This QT shows me that when God’s People are living outside of His Will there will be Unnecessary Suffering Of The Levites)

‘They Neglected The Lord’s Day.’
Nehemiah 13:15-16.
a) Some men in Judah were stomping on grapes in the winepresses on the Sabbath.
b) Other men were bringing in the grain and putting it on the asses.
c) These men and other men also, were bringing their goods into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day to market them.
d) The men of Tyre also came to sell fish and other goods in Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
(This Second one shows me how in the Old Testament days, when God’s People were not in good condition spiritually They Neglected The Lord’s Day)

There is, of course, need for service industries and public services to be running seven days a week. If, however, Believers use the Lord’s (Church) day merely to try to make more profit for their businesses it is not good.
