Happy Monday Everyone. I hope you had a blessed Father’s Day Weekend.
Now, allow me to give you a little history here about this morning’s Bible verse. The Babylonian kingdom defeated Israel and relocated the Israelites throughout the kingdom. Jerusalem was over-thrown. The walls were demolished. Then the Persians took over the Babylonians. Now, here’s where Nehemiah comes in. He found out about the condition of Jerusalem and was overwhelmed with sorrow. He got the Persian king to let him go to Jerusalem to reconstruct the wall, but he faced hostility. However, Nehemiah had God on his side. He told those that were still in Jerusalem why he was there, and they went to work. Leaders, perfume makers, goldsmiths, and merchants were just some of the people who donated to reconstructing the wall.
Beloved, God didn’t find the best craftsmen and creators. He used the people who were accessible – reachable. They were motivated to work because they had something great to work toward. This is an awesome picture of the church/ministry. When we have a goal to get something done, we can do it “together”. We shouldn’t hate on one another especially when we’re focused on the same cause or being about our Heavenly Father’s business. We don’t need to be the best at anything, but if we give our best God can use it to do astonishing things that we never would have thought possible. Amen? – Aaamen.
Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.
Our ministry continues to grow. God has truly been good to us!!! We thank each and every one of you for helping to make this possible. And be sure to like, share, or forward this on to a friend so we can “Together” continue to spread God’s word.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! And have a blessed Monday Everyone. 😀
