Nehemiah 4-7

Nehemiahs description of the work on the city wall in 4:15-20 provides a good picture of the spiritual work in which each Christian is to partake.  They are to be about the work of building up the church; through the evangelism of the lost and encouragement of the saved, while carrying the sword of the spirit always at their side.  The best way to take the sword with us (the Bible) is through memory.  And when we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in our walk we will find that neither the building or the fighting is more than we can bear.

This took me more than 20 minutes to read.  However, Im not sure exactly how long because I kept being interrupted.
