Nehemiah 9:1 On the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the Israelites gathered together, fasting and wearing sackcloth and putting dust on their heads.
What ever happened to a whole country coming together to say they were sorry before God?
I know it is a hard thing for just one person to come and say sorry to God, so getting a whole country to do so would be quite a task – but this is what happened many times throughout our history.
I know we are less bound by religious events nowadays, but this does not mean we should abandon good things.
Our bible teach us to not forget about coming together as a group of believers to show support for our God – we need more of it!
