Worship reminds me that I have a God who loves me and will fight for me.
It is at the core of our relationship with God. The Bible has a lot to say about worship. It would be completely vain and prideful to think that we did it all on our own. It is the recognition of God’s active participation in our lives. After all, worship is more than an emotion. The work was done, and it was time for worship and rejoicing – dedicating the work of their hands to God. As the saying goes, no good deeds go unpunished…
You will also quickly notice that he had fierce opposition. Our protagonist (Nehemiah) managed to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem in a record 52 days! Quite impressive for 445 BC! If you read through the book of Nehemiah, you will soon realize that the rebuilding was about more than just the wall. “And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, harps, and lyres.” As Mary Pickford would say, “this thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.” Being knocked down gives us a chance to rise up, which in turn paves the way for our worship. Life can be challenging and knock you down. There is a time to worship–a time to rejoice over the job well done, the small victories along the way and the hardships endured.

My dad had been at sea for many months and I recall being anxious to see him. It is the first homecoming I can remember. There is a sense of magic for that precise moment when eyes meet again after months apart and hearts are relieved of the burden of worries. It does not matter how many homecoming ceremonies I have attended or how callous my heart can become, I melt every time someone posts a video of military members returning home on social media.
