Nehemiah 3
Daily Devotional from Nehemiah 3--
Verse 5
“And next to them the Tekoites repaired, but their nobles would not stoop to serve their Lord.”
This is so crazy to me - all of Jerusalem is out there rebuilding the walls - from the lowest to the greatest - women included - but the Tekoa nobles won’t stoop to help?! What an awful display of pride, laziness, and selfishness. In the meantime, verse 27 shows that the rest of the Tekoites worked double-hard and completed an additional section of the wall.
In order to see the Kingdom of God move forward, it takes all of us working together. Sometimes that’s preaching, sometimes it’s leading a Bible study, or inviting a neighbor to church. But it’s also stocking the coffee, watching the babies, and taking out the trash. Every task is important and builds us together as a team and a family. The Tekoites got that, if their leaders didn’t.
If you’re not already serving regularly, what are you waiting for?
