When it was time for the dedication of Jerusalem’s wall, they sought out the Levites in all the places where they lived in order to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanks and singing, and with cymbals, harps, and lyres.
Nehemiah 11:27 CEB
When it was time . . .
Traditionally you do not dedicate something until it is paid for otherwise you consecrate it for God's work.
What a celebration to dedicate the restored wall of the city.
What a celebration to be debt free.
Most of us do not know what it means to not have a house payment, a car payment, a credit card payment, a you name it payment.
We all wait with anticipation of that time when we don't have a payment.
My church is approaching that time . . .
We are within a few thousand dollars of saying it is time.
Time to pay off the mortgage and celebrate.
As a matter of fact what better time than Thanksgiving to dedicate a building.
Mark your calendar November 20th will be a celebration like no other.
Because it will be time . . .
