All In for the Good Work
Nehemiah 2:18
“Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he has spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.”
The account of the builders in chapter 3:15 is very interesting because of all the different kinds of people who helped and the ways in which they worked. Look at the priests (vs.1), the lazy nobles (vs. 5), the goldsmiths and the apothecaries (vs 8), the ruler who was not too proud to work himself (vs.9), the daughters who helped (vs. 12), important rulers (vs.15-19), the earnest workers (vs.20), a lodger who had only one room (vs.30), and many others. It is a picture of all the different kinds of people who are needed to carry on the work of God then and today. We all must find our place and get started..
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
