Involvement in God's Work
by Dr. Paul Chappell

Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

Nehemiah 2:17-18

Nehemiah was heartbroken when he heard how the city of Jerusalem was defenseless and how the Jewish people who lived there were suffering as a result. So he resolved to do something about it. He got permission from the king to go back and build a wall. Nehemiah understood an important principle: that God's work requires God's people to join hands. Nehemiah worked on the wall, but it was the efforts of the people of Jersualem that brought the task to a successful conclusion. “So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days” (Nehemiah 6:15).

Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning; staying together is progress; working together is success.” God's work is not usually done by individuals working in isolation, but by groups of people joining hands together and laboring together until the task is complete. Every church needs the people of the church—not just the pastor or a few full-time staff workers, but everyone—to be active and involved for the ministry to have the impact it should.

The seventeenth-century Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto is credited with the discovery of the 80/20 rule, commonly called the Pareto Principle. Though it has many applications, one of the best known is that in most projects, 20 percent of the people do 80 percent of the work. That may hold true in many areas of life, but it should never be true of God's church. We should all be active in His work.

Today's Growth Principle:
God has a part in His work for every Christian; be alert to opportunities He may have for you today.
