They stood…read…confessed and worshipped

“And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshiped the LORD their God.” Nehemiah 9v3

After the walls were finally built Ezra was called to read the Book of the Law to the people. When he did so the people realised the depth of their sin. Finally the people of Israel withdrew from everyone else for a time of prayer and worship.

For three hours they stood up and read from the word of God. For another three hours they confessed their sins and worshipped God. This was true spirit of revival. If we want God to work in our hearts we are going to have to have something of the same spirit. Read the word of God, confess our sins, and worship Him.
