Nehemiah 4 & 6
Nehemiah had strong support for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem from his own people, but he encountered growing antagonism from some neighboring tribes. His response to that opposition can teach us some important lessons about dealing with opposition in our own lives as we try to fulfill God’s calling upon our lives.
- In life, you can expect to meet some opposition even when serving God.
- Sometimes the best thing is simply to ignore it.
- But when is escalates, we must learn to confront it without provoking it.
- Don’t let nay-sayers drain your energy or distract you from the task at hand.
-
- Be on you guard & stand firm.
- Pray constantly & work hard.
- Build your coalition & encourage those looking up to you.
- Stay focused on the desired result.
