Then I said to them, “You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem that we may no longer be a reproach”… So they said, “Let us rise up and build.” Then they set their hands to do this good work.—Nehemiah 2:17-18
As a servant of Jesus Christ, you have a purpose for living. And you can make a difference in your community, church, and world… especially when you work in partnership with others.
When Nehemiah began rebuilding the wall, he knew he couldn’t do it alone, so he enlisted the help of others. All kinds of people were involved… priests, politicians, perfumers, clothiers, tradesmen, bachelors, women… there was a role for everyone. They were all there at the wall.
I want to challenge you today: Do you have a place on the wall? Are you participating in building God’s Kingdom?
There is a ministry for every person in the fellowship of the Lord—and every place is important. Ask the Lord how you can serve!
AS LONG AS WE HAVE LIFE AND BREATH, WE’RE TO SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
