52 Days. Day 20, Highly Skilled in the Secular World. Highly Submitted in the Godly World.

Nehemiah 3:8 (NKJV) “Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Also next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs; and they fortified Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.”  Nehemiah notes that here on this portion of the wall is two highly skilled, highly trained craftsmen.  One is a goldsmith. The other is one who worked with perfumes, or an apothecary (KJV).  Literally one was a jeweler and also probably a banker,  working with precious metals. The other would be like a pharmacist working with the oil to make medicines, perfumes, and anointing oil; like a doctor in that day.  The jeweler/banker and the doctor side by side doing the hard work of restoring and reviving the kingdom.  Regardless of how you work to generate income, your level of college or lack of it, your skilled labor or manual labor, keeping the Kingdom as the motiving force behind all that you do really matters. Being able to unify with others by not considering yourself better, or worse, than them - moves the kingdom forward (Romans 12:3).
