Small Jobs

When reading Nehemiah 1-6 we learn about how Nehemiah led the Jewish people to rebuild the crumbled wall of Jerusalem.  It was a huge undertaking that no one person could ever accomplish.  But with the help of MANY and by each building small sections the job was completed.  No one refused to help because they thought they were too good for the job, such as priests and goldsmiths.  The work of Immanuel is also a huge undertaking.  But if everyone does a small job much can be accomplished in the goal of everyone taking one-step-forward in their relationship with Jesus Christ.  Don’t have the attitude “I can’t teach” or “I’m not musical”.  There are so many places to help that there is certainly something you can do and when you do it unto the Lord you will be blessed in return.  Just as the people of Jerusalem completed the wall with the help of their God (Nehemiah 6:16) the work of Immanuel can be accomplished with God helping each one of us to do the work.
