Daily Bible Reading: Nehemiah 12
The dedication of the wall in Jerusalem was a reminder that they are God’s people, chosen to fulfill His plan in this world (v27). To dedicate a thing, a place, or a person to God is an act of faith, a declaration that they are devoted and set aside exclusively for the Lord’s use. They are set apart for the Lord and belong to God alone. For this reason, true Christians are concerned with the cleansing and purity of their whole being. As followers of Christ we have been forgiven, sanctified, and will be glorified, so that all our possessions and enjoyments in life are made holy unto the Lord. Let us therefore be careful and cheerful in carrying out our assignments so that they may give glory to our King, Jesus Christ. God bless you.
