Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Malkijah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs as far as the house of the temple servants and the merchants, opposite the Inspection Gate, and as far as the room above the corner; and between the room above the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and merchants made repairs.”
(Nehemiah 3:31-32)

These were artisans and shopkeepers, Jesus – not builders.

But the wall of Your city was broken down!
So they did what had to be done.

No matter what I prefer to do

may I always be willing to do what needs to be done.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble obedience:

“The Dung Gate was repaired by Malkijah son of Recab…”
(Nehemiah 3:14)

Well, somebody had to repair that odoriferous gate, Jesus!

and good ol’ Malkijah was the one to do it.

I would guess that the line of people signing up for this job

was pretty short.

But not everything that needs to be done

is fun to do.

If all I do is what’s fun

a whole lot of what’s needed will go undone

…and that’s no fun.
