We Are The People

Nehemiah 7:70-73 “70 And some of the heads of the fathers’ houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly garments. 71 Some of the heads of the fathers’ houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand gold drachmas, and two thousand two hundred silver minas. 72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly garments.73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the Nethinim, and all Israel dwelt in their cities.”

The regathered Children of Israel laid their treasure before the Lord and godly leaders to help in the restoration of the land and the support of those who were leaders in Israel. God always supplies the resources for His work in the world. Even when Israel left the land where they were enslaved for 400 years, the Egyptians gave God’s people what they needed for their journey to the land of God’s promise.
