Opposition is inevitable when you step into obedience. Nehemiah shows us that the enemy mocks what God is rebuilding, hoping to wear us down with lies and intimidation. But instead of arguing, he responded with prayer and progress, refusing to come down from the wall. His people worked with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other—building and battling at the same time. In the same way, recovery and discipleship require both defense and offense: guarding our hearts with God’s Word and building new habits that honor Him. The message is simple—stay on the wall, keep praying, keep building, and don’t let opposition pull you away from what God has called you to restore.
