Nehemiah 12:31-43
Location, location, location; these three words are a realtor’s dream and a business owner’s hope. The dream is to find the right house in the right location and place the business where the most people will see it. But, what about all of the other locations? In a way, this question is similar to what we see in Nehemiah 11-12. Some of the people were assigned to live in the city and others were living outside in the surrounding towns. Everyone had a job to do even though the wall was completed. There were ongoing jobs that were needed to support the economy and the temple but everyone was involved in the one job of worship and praise of God as the wall was dedicated. Together they raised their voices and made their joy heard by all. Like the people of Israel, together let us raise our voices and joyfully proclaim the greatness of our God to all who will hear. Just like the people of Nehemiah’s day, we are here for God’s purpose in this location.
