<v Speaker 1>for the privilege of being able to look at it

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>together today. And Lord, as we look at this portion

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of scripture, we can see a variety of people that

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you raised up to begin repairing the walls around this city.

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>All kinds of people with all kinds of backgrounds got involved,

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and we could see that during this season they felt

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>inspired to accomplish the work that you had given to

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>them to do. Lord. We also see that there were

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>some people that didn't look at this as a service

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>to you, and as a result, they seemed content to

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>let others do the work. But Lord, we're grateful for

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>what we see in this passage that primarily it appears

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>that the people understood good that this was a work

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>that you had ordained and you had called them to do,

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and they were accomplishing it with the strength that you provided,

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and they were working quickly because you were their strength. Likewise, Lord,

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>we know that in the context that we live in,

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we're to rely on your strength daily. Lord, you are

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>building your church, you are building a city, You are

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>building a family of people through faith in your son

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. We have the privilege to be part of that.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>We have the privilege to utilize your strength, and we

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>have the privilege to go as you lead us and

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to accomplish whatever you call us. To do. Lord. We're

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>grateful for these things, and we're grateful for your presence

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>with us, and we thank you Lord that we know

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>that in the midst of everything that we go through

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>in this world, you are right here with us, guiding,

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>directing us, helping us, and assuring us of your presence.

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>We're grateful for all these things. Lord, We're thankful that

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you are with us today, and we commit this day

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.960
