OT: Nehemiah 12
NT: Luke 11
W&W: Psalm 51
Today’s Reflection:
I wanted to share something real quick with you this morning. It is actually from yesterday’s Old Testament reading: Nehemiah 11. That chapter lists the people who were chosen to settle in Jerusalem and to lead the returned exiles from the capital city. Verse 14 of that chapter describes the “associates” of Immer – one of those leaders in Jerusalem – as able men. They were able.
I thought about how leaders need to surround themselves with ABLE associates. Men and women who are chosen for their:
- Abilities to perform in their needed areas
- Belief in the leader and his vision
- Loyalty to the leader
- Enthusiasm for the work of God
This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
Isaiah 53.6-7: We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
