Broken.
Seems like we as people are good at breaking things. Let's face it, breaking
a thing is much easier than putting a thing together. And all around us
are testimonies to our laziness…broken things…relationships…lives…people…In
our culture, many of the structures that God ordained and set in place
have been broken down and lay in shambles. Is there any hope to rebuild
the walls of a broken generation?
Nehemiah
was a man used of God to do just that. God's people had forgotten what
it was to live whole before Him. They had given up and accepted broken
as a way of life. God used Nehemiah to remind them that while brokenness
of spirit is desired by God in our lives, living broken is not God's heart
for His people. Together, they rebuilt walls. Could God do a similar work
in our day? In your life?
