Building the walls of Jerusalem

In the book of Nehemiah, chapter 3, all of the families in Jerusalem were assigned to repair and build certain sections of the walls.  Some repaired walls in front of their houses while others took on larger projects.

Some projects were simple and others involved much more detail.

The Lord has jobs for everyone.  Some may be grocery store clerks while others are the heads of companies.  Some are meant for the clergy and others are nurses, doctors, police officers, construction workers, and street sweepers.

All tasks assigned by the Lord are noble.  Keep in mind, today's tasks may lead to other opportunities down the road.  Many who repaired the walls and gates of Jerusalem weren't in the trade of those tasks at the time.  There were priests, musicians, farmers, goldsmiths.

Be open for the Lord to present opportunities to you.
