Day 12: Nehemiah 12~ Lessons on Worshipping Through the Rebuilding Process


Hey there, Reader!

As we come close to the end of our study in the book of Nehemiah, I want to draw your attention to a powerful lesson from Nehemiah Chapter 12 - the importance of worship in the rebuilding process.

In today's video teaching, we unpack how Nehemiah establishes a standard of worship for the holy people. Holy people worship. They express their thanksgiving through worship and dedicate themselves to the God who helps them complete the work He calls them to.

Worship and the completion of God's work go hand in hand. When God does something great in our lives or brings something to completion, we are to worship Him. All through the process, we worship, because that is what we were created to do.

I encourage you to watch the full teaching on Nehemiah Chapter 12 and continue the conversation in the comments. And if you haven't already, be sure to download the companion study guide to enhance your personal study time!

Remember, you are part of a holy history, whether you are continuing it or just beginning. Let's dedicate ourselves to carrying His presence and worshipping Him every step of the way.

Hey Reader, Welcome to Week 2 of Do Whatever He Says. Last week, as we concluded our fast on Sunday, we were reminded that worship and intimacy with God are not separate from obedience; they actually fuel it. That is the heart behind this three-week Do Whatever He Says series. As our intimacy with Him deepens, our hearts become more responsive to His voice and more willing to do whatever He says. In Week 1 of our Do Whatever He Says devotional series, we shifted our perspective from simply...

Hey Reader, These Weekend in the Word emails have quietly become some of my favorites to send. There’s something about intentionally preparing to pause. To sit with Jesus. To slow the swirl of the week and let the Word settle in. It helps me enter the weekend with purpose, and I pray it’s doing the same for you. This weekend, I’m looking forward to wrapping up the book of Job. It’s a book I’ve read many times, but this time, the Lord has been showing me something deeper—not just about Job’s...

Hey Reader, There are moments in Scripture that invite us to slow down and pay attention, not to the miracle itself, but to the obedience that made room for it. That’s why I’m inviting you into this 3-week devotional journey, Do Whatever He Says. This journey is an invitation to move from observing what God is doing to actively responding to what He is saying. To release the pressure of making things happen and instead trust that obedience creates space for God to work. As we begin Week One,...
