When we're all actively building, few will be quick to tear down. We're not alone! Count on each other for help, and be willing to come to their aid as well. Nehemiah gave everyone a job and counted on them to do their part - just like we all have a function in building the body of Christ today (Eph. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built" (Neh. And next to him the men of Jericho built. " Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the Sheep Gate. So, are you ready to endure the (sometimes) back-breaking work of building? But if work is good enough for Jesus (John 9:4), then it's good enough for us. Sadly though, growth costs more than some are willing to pay. Growth doesn't just happen to us, or is something we're "blessed" with - it's about the work we're willing to put in. The people didn't relax until they finished the job. " So we labored at the work, and half of them held the spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out" (Neh. So, what are your goals for growth this year? How foolish it is to think we could ever succeed in our spiritual building projects without a plan. Once you've planned the work, then get to work on the plan. Search: Satisfactory Desert Cave Entrances. State your goals, your intentions, and make them measurable. Growth doesn't just happen - it takes thought and careful inspection. Nehemiah surveyed the situation by night, planning the work. I went out by night by the Valley Gate to the Dragon Spring and to the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and its gates that had been destroyed by fire" (Neh. " Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. And under his loving leadership, the people worked together to fortify the city in only 52 days (Neh. Where that formerly stood, for the gates had been burnt, and were not as yet rebuilt this was the gate that led to the valley of Jehoshaphat, according to some or rather to the valley of dead bodies, through which the brook Kidron ran, see 2 Chronicles 26:9 it is the gate through which Christ went to Calvary it led to Shiloh, Bethhoron, and Golan:Įven before the dragon well so called from its winding about, just as a crooked winding river is called serpentine though some think here stood an image of a dragon, either in wood, or stone, or brass, out of the mouth of which the water flowed from the well and others, that since the desolations of Jerusalem, serpents or dragons had their abode here:Īnd to the dung port by which they used to carry the dung out of the city, and by which they went to Joppa, the sea, and all the western parts:Īnd viewed the walls of Jerusalem: in what condition they were, what was necessary to be wholly taken down, and where to begin to build: it must have been a moonlight night or he could not have taken a view for to have carried torches or lamps with them would have discovered them:Īnd the gates thereof were consumed with fire nothing of them remained.When Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem, seeing the sad condition of the city walls, he knew they needed to rebuild.
