lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach....So they said let us rise up and build. Then they set their hands to this good work" Ne2:17-18. I've been thinking lately about where our Jerusalem is? Nehemiah was so passionate about his home and the home of the Lord that he wanted to shore it up...against overwhelming opposition both from without the city and within. What are we as zealous about? Willing to sell out for? Defy the odds? Swim up stream? Battle the tide? I submit that investing in our heritage, our children, is our Jerusalem. We can become soooooo consumed with "out there" or "over there" that we take our eye off what's immediately in front of us, our children....
