12. We Will Not Neglect the Work God Started - Nehemiah (part 9)

A few years ago I took my family to Bimini, Bahamas during the winter holidays. We left our cold Tennessee weather behind and flew into sunshine and warmth. While I enjoyed each day of our trip, there was one that had extra meaning for me. A Bahamian friend named Michael joined us for supper in our beach house. As the day came to a close, one of my sons got out his Backpacker guitar and together we sang the old classic, “Lord I Lift Your Name On High”. It was such a meaningful time that I did not want it to end. I am sure you’ve had times like that, too. After the wall had been rebuilt and dedicated, after the people had repented and were unified for the first time in many years, they did not want the spiritual renewal to end. They publicly pledged to be ALL IN, IN ALL WAYS. (That’s actually a better title for this message but I didn’t think of it until just now!) The rebuilding of the wall was more than just a construction project, it had spiritual significance as well. People were closer to God than they had ever been and they wanted the spiritual renewal to continue. Just passing through,Paul Gunn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
