REBUILDING WHAT S BROKEN Why Are We Here? Nehemiah 12:27-43 (page 489 in the Bible located in the seat back pocket) Working Towards W 1. R & R 2. R & R 3. R & R 1
Next Steps Take time to muse on the following statements asking, What is God saying to 4m e, and w hat am I going to do about it? When we use who we are, where we are, and what we can do and align that with what God is doing, the end result is Joy. The Why always dictates and inspires the How. When the truth of God s greatness and goodness collides with the core of who we are, the very part of us that makes us a person, an image bearer of the creator God, the result in us is nothing short of wonder. We cannot work toward worship, but we can work towards a wonder of God that will result in a response of Worship. The trick is to rightly make so much of God that everything else falls into the proper perspective! Take who you are, where you are, and all your influence and join God in what he s doing. Work towards Wonder.
