Quiet Time : The Body

Nehemiah 4:19-21 (KJV)

19And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.

20In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.

21So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

This reminded me of the work of the Church (as in the Body); that everyone has their purpose within the Body. That because we are a broken people, sometimes we might be separated (due to any number of reasons - I seriously blame Satan - seriously), but are fighting the same fight. Therefore we should work hard to ensure communication lines are open, and to fight our own misguided perceptions (I have found that mine can be attributed to FEAR OF MAN).
