PRAYER:

PRAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD INSPIRE YOU TO BEGIN TO SERVE AND

CONTRIBUTE IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH

DEVOTIONAL:

In our reading today, we see how Nehemiah took on the personal responsibility of rebuilding the

walls of Jerusalem. Despite facing opposition and challenges, Nehemiah continued building and

relied on God's strength to accomplish the task at hand because building what God has called

you to build is an important step in your walk with Him.

In His time here on earth, Jesus only ever promised to build one thing and it was His Church.

Just like Nehemiah, we are called to build alongside Christ by building His Church. How do we

practically do that? By serving. Our willingness to serve in our local church not only helps build

up the church community, but also allows us to grow spiritually and deepen our relationship with

God.

Let us follow Nehemiah's example and be proactive in seeking ways to serve in our local church,

trusting that God will equip us with the strength and resources we need to fulfill His purposes. As

we commit to serving, may we be inspired by Nehemiah's leadership and devotion to God's

work, knowing that our efforts are not in vain.

Question:

What is one area in your church that you can begin serving?
