Nehemiah 4 reveals what happens when God's work advances and opposition rises. As the people rebuild the wall, they face mockery, threats, and discouragement yet under Nehemiah's leadership they continue the work with courage, prayer, and perseverance. This passage teaches us that doing the work of the Lord requires both diligence and vigilance. The people build with one hand and defend with the other, trusting that the Lord will fight for them. Their faith teaches us how to respond when obedience brings resistance, reminding us to stand firm, remember the Lord, and continue faithfully in the work He has called us to.
