Lectionary for 9/19/08

Today's readings are Nehemiah 2.11-20 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Neh.+2.11-20 ), Nehemiah 4.1-6 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Neh.+4.1-6 ), and 1 Timothy 2.1-15 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Tim.+2.1-15 ).
 
See today how our Lord and Savior uses our weakness to display his strength?  I especially notice it in the passage in 1 Timothy, where we are told to put down our normal desires and tendencies (men to be quarrelsome, women to make a show of themselves, etc.) and instead be committed to the work the Lord has given us.
 
What has the Lord given me to do today?  Am I building a wall out of rubble?  Am I investigating possibilities so as to have a clear view of what could be done?  Am I praying and praising God?  What roles am I to take on?  May the Lord give me grace and mercy that I may take on those roles wholeheartedly in obedience to Him.
