Day 252..."Teamwork...The Word...Upside down...Live, move, have our being"

The Nehemiah account of rebuilding the wall is a great story of teamwork. The participation was broad and everyone focused on one section of the greater body of work. They also endured threat and grew more unified in criticism. Isaiah again shares great teaching..."“Seek the Lord while he may be found;call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts;let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your waysand my thoughts than your thoughts. God's ways are beyond our comprehension. The Word of the Lord does accomplish a greater purpose...the "Discovering God's Word-a 365 day journey" is helping me understand this truth. I hope for you too. I love Acts 17! They said about the apostles.."these upside down people have come here too! What a tribute to the early Church. Actually, the Kingdom of God is "right side up." One other great verse from chapter 17 is ..."in Christ we live, move, and have our being."
A great day of reading from the teamwork on the wall, to the Word, to turning the world upside down!
