Pray this Lazaroo in growing awe:

“He also repaired the wall of the Pool of Siloam…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Pretty amazing, Jesus.

There was no way Shallun could have guessed
what would one day happen there.

Five hundred years later, You healed the eyes of a man born blind.

You put mud on his eyes
then sent him to wash in the Pool of Siloam.

When he did, he could see!

It makes me wonder:

What will You do in the future
with my simple acts of obedience today?

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He rebuilt it, roofing it over…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Nobody else added a roof to the gate he was repairing, Jesus.

Only Shallun.

From this we can infer that it wasn’t something that had to be done.

Shallun thought it would be a good idea.

So he took the extra time
did the extra work
incurred the extra expense

to make the Fountain Gate unique, beautiful, desirable.

What an inspiration, Father!

May I always and forever do more than expected…for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with admiration:

“The Fountain Gate was repaired by Shallun…ruler of the district of Mispah.”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Shallun was a ruler, Jesus – obviously an important man in his day.

But the only time he’s mentioned in the entire Bible

is when he set aside his administrative garments
and put on work clothes.

Help me remember that, LORD!

Sometimes You want me to get my hands dirty.

Oh, not with the deeds of sin
but with the good, honest dirt

of hard work.
