Nehemiah and the people of Jerusalem were rebuilding the walls, but their work quickly attracted opposition. Their enemies mocked them, threatened them, and attempted to create fear among the people. Yet Nehemiah responded by praying, setting a watch, and reminding the people to remember the Lord.
In this episode, we look at Nehemiah 4:1-9 and verses 14-15 and consider what happens when opposition comes while we are doing what God has called us to do. The enemy may try to intimidate us, discourage us, or make us afraid—but opposition doesn’t mean God has abandoned the work.
Sometimes we need to stop looking at the size of the opposition and start remembering the greatness of our God.
