Everybody's usually familiar of the fact that the church is like a body, with each person having different gifts etc. But Nehemiah 3 is an example of a situation where God has called everyone to perform the same task and everyone gets stuck in. The priests do some building (v28), some bloke and his daughters get involved (v12). the only black spot is in verse 5, where the Tekoites work, but their nobles wouldn't get their hands dirty. Did they think they were above the work? There wasn't exactly much to be proud about being a nobleman of a ruined city.
God might want anyone to get their hands dirty at any time - am I willing to listen?
