- Topic: “Program is needed but People is important”
Scripture reading :Nehemiah 7: 1-7
7 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, the musicians and the Levites were appointed. 2 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most people do. 3 I said to them, “The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses.”
The List of the Exiles Who Returned
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt. 5 So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:
6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town, 7 in company with Zerubbabel, Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum and Baanah):The list of the men of Israel:

Dear Lord, thank you for the cross, the authentic symbol of the suffering, horrendous pain, you endured for all humanity, shattering all illusions and expectations by crushing the enemy of our souls through your triumph embedded in your unending, unmatched, eternal love, validated by your resurrection, and promise to return.
As we journey through this Lenten season, renew, repair, refill, revive our hearts with the fruits of your Holy Spirit. Let us not be afraid, obsessed with worry over situations we cannot change, but fix our eyes on you, the author and finisher of all things. Inspire us to be intentionally kinder, more loving, more forgiving, more committed to model your characteristics and allow your light to shine and draw others to you.
Forgive us, when we err, increase our listening capacity to hear and discern your voice regardless of the life’s daily noise level.
Thank you for loving us and being gracious especially when we don’t deserve it.
