Video of the Day: Clip from the 2006 movie “Night at the Museum”
Bible Verse of the Day:
But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me. 14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophet Noadiah and how she and the rest of the prophets have been trying to intimidate me. 15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days, Nehemiah 6:11-15.
Biblical Connection:
Larry Daley takes a security job at a local museum. Little does Larry know that all the exhibits in the American Museum of Natural History come life at night. When the golden device that allows this transformation to occur is about to be stolen, this group of misfits start working together. Like a coach, Larry leads all the characters to save this device and keep it at the museum.
Nehemiah was the cup bearer to the King of Persia. Upon hearing the news of the demise of Jerusalem, Nehemiah fasts and prayers for 3 months. Following this time, God gives Nehemiah a vision of how to rebuild the walls surrounding Jerusalem. Nehemiah gathered the people who lived near their part of Jerusalem’s wall, using each to create a successful team of workers to finish in 52 days.
Closing Song:
As a former coach, some of my teams didn’t have the talent of others. Yet when you can get a group of individuals to buy into a common goal, even a collection of misfits can become a team.
