Nehemiah – Chapter 12: Nehemiah records all the names of the Levites, Priests and family heads that had returned from the exile. He sent notices to them and to all of Israel to come together for the dedication of the Wall of Jerusalem. Ezra lead the procession as two great choirs were assembled with musical instruments. There was tremendous joy and song and music on that day. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away. (What could you do to start your day off with tremendous joy?)
