God's Doings in Grace are as the Links of a Chain
Nehemiah 1:9-11
But if you turn to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out to the uttermost part of the heaven…


The whole of God's doings in grace are as the links of a chain, not lying apart, but united together, and the first through an unbroken series leading to the last. Hence Nehemiah finds a plea in what the Lord has done for His people, that He will still show them mercy.

(W. Ritchie.)
