This week Rabbi Loren teaches on Psalm 147 and discusses God's absolute sovereignty over all things, including healing, which should lead His creation to praise Him.
The exiles who returned from the Persian empire came home to a ruined capital city, Jerusalem.
The walls were broken down.
We were defenseless.
The temple, the worship center was destroyed.
The houses were in ruin.
Those who did return from the exile were few and poor.
We were surrounded by hostile neighbors who wanted us to fail and plotted against us, sometimes with armed attacks.
The exiles returned and built the walls of Jerusalem with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other hand.
Even after the walls of the city were finished, Nehemiah had to persuade people to live in the city because it was still so empty and unappealing.
So this was a small, financially strained community surrounded by peoples who hated us and were working against us.
