Reading along with us in Nehemiah and 1 Peter? Here’s today’s reading:
Nehemiah 3 (NIV)
Builders of the Wall
1 Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel. 2 The men of Jericho built the adjoining section, and Zakkur son of Imri built next to them.…..Continue Reading

Back: Nehemiah 2
What great leadership Nehemiah shows in this chapter. Pastor always says inform and equip people when it comes to a large event or service project and that is what Nehemiah did here. People had their section and they did the work that needed to be done.
And what a cool picture of unity in service! Everyone coming together and doing their part to get the wall repaired. It was mentioned that even daughters were involved, all who were able came together as it should be, people helping people annd working together to build rather than always fighting and tearing things down!
Many hands make light work as it is said, and that is what we see here. Each person seeing what was needed right before them and then taking care of it. This is how it should be in every facet of life. Whatever your hand finds to do that benefits others or the work of God, do it to His glory and through His provision. We all have our part to play, let’s make sure we are doing it!

Nehemiah 3
All in the community make repairs to the wall of Jerusalem and great detail is given to who did what. I noticed the casual mention of a few who did not do work, “Next to them the Tekoites made repairs; but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord.”
Nehemiah 3:5, and the mention of some daughters doing the work, “And next to him was Shallum the son of Hallohesh, leader of half the district of Jerusalem; he and his daughters made repairs.”
Nehemiah 3:12 NKJV
