Episode 228: Great work

Nehemiah 6:1-4 "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?" Nehemiah had important work to do. You see he was rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem and he took that task very seriously. When rivals from a neighboring community called him down (they had harmful thoughts towards him), he declined and stayed focused on his work at hand. Nehemiah believed he had been called by God to do this important work. What is God calling you to do today. Is he calling you to turn the ordinary into extraordinary? Is He calling you to an opportunity to serve and enrich the lives of others while glorifying Him. You see we are all called to do great work, His work. Even if it doesn't seem important to you in this moment, take the work He has given you seriously, do it well, and use it as an opportunity to build His kingdom.
