I read this morning Nehemiah chapter three . It is about the builders of the wall. Many builders of the wall are mentioned and they were building…… but Baruch son of Zabbai was repairing zealously.

Now I am asking myself some questions. Are you also asking yourself some questions?

Nehemiah 3:20

“Next to him, Baruch son of Zabbai zealously repaired another section,….”

Ezra 9:4

“Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Isreal…..”

Isaiah 66:2

“…, and trembles at my word.”

“DON’T DREAM IT……….. DO IT!

That says the ad in a travel magazine advertising the skyjump and skywalk in Auckland. ( In Maori language the city’s name is Tamaki Makau Rau, which translates as “the city of 100 lovers”.)

“….ONLY A DREAM.”

“Vision without action is only a dream.

Action without vision is wasting time.

Vision and action can change the world.”

Confucius

*************

“….BUT A DREAM,…”

“A vision without a task is but a dream,

a task without a vision is drudgery,

a vision and a task is the hope of the world.”

– A church in Sussex, England, ca 1730

Is that not the same?

“Vision is not enough; it must be combined with venture.

It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the stairs.”

Vaclav Havel
