"So Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadek rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them."
Ezra 5:2
Praise God for leaders. Zerubbabel and Jeshua (of Joshua) were the point men (see Ezra 2:2; 3:2; 4:2-3) – the ones with the vision who were able to motivate others to join them in the work. But praise God for the helpers, also. The leaders would not be able to accomplish the task without those who were willing to assist them. God has put leaders into His Church – apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Ephesians 4:11). But He also has given the ministry of "helps" (I Corinthians 12:28). One is not more important than the other. Both are necessary in doing Kingdom-work.
Today's Thought: Each believer has a place in Kingdom-work, whether a leader or a helper.
Bless you as you fill your place of ministry. Love you.
