The old story about the two brick masons reminds us of the importance of motivation. When asked what they were doing, the first mumbled,"I'm building a wall." The second responded with great enthusiasm, "I'm building a cathedral!" God has called His people to to be a part of His building project--the one project that will outlast this world! Today we discover from Nehemiah 1 how we can be a part of that great project.
