Nehemiah works, with the help of God, for
the poor of the people (Nehemiah 5:19). The enemies of Nehemiah
continued to oppose the work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. When
they came with their criticisms, Nehemiah refused to be distracted. He
kept on working (Nehemiah 6:3). Work on the city walls was completed.
The critics were silenced - “When all our enemies heard about this, all
the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence.” God
was glorified - “They realized we had done this work with the help of
our God” (Nehemiah 6:19). The situation of God’s people today is still
the same as it was in Nehemiah’s day. To rebuild the “walls” of God’s
work, we must overcome determined opposition.
