52 Days. Day 18, Everybody Has Their Part to Play.

Nehemiah 3:1-2 (NKJV) 1 “Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They built as far as the Tower of the Hundred, [and] consecrated it, then as far as the Tower of Hananel. 2 Next to [Eliashib] the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built.”  Like an army they begin the work together.  The priesthood leads the way.  Nehemiah understands the powerful dynamic of God’s people working and praying together.  We are the body of Christ.  When we are unified around His Kingdom purposes, motivated by His love, and sacrifice ourselves for the greater good of the Kingdom; much is accomplished and we understand that my part is just as vital as anyone else’s part. I can’t do the work they need to do, and neither can they do the work I need to do.  Pray for and love one another, respecting and honoring each other as members together with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).
