The Jewish people were able to complete the wall in 52 days; everyone knew this could only be achieved with the help of God. Their achievement was a great reason to celebrate and thank God. The wall represented safety from their enemies and strength for Jerusalem. Not only was the city no longer vulnerable but God’s people were now visibly set apart, mirroring God’s call for them to be spiritually set apart as holy.
We must take the time to celebrate what God has done in our lives and thank Him. It might be something small or insignificant. But remember that God cares about little things too. And there are bigger things that could not be explained apart from God. When we celebrate, we testify to those around us about what God has done. The Jews, under Nehemiah, celebrated God’s goodness, and we too, should give God the glory he deserves.
Grab a friend and a cup of coffee and tell someone what God has done in your life.
Prayer: Father, thank you for being active in our lives. Let me be thankful in everything. I love to trace your fingerprints in my life. Amen.
