Nehemiah and the Jews began rebuilding the wall. However, they had significant opposition. It seemed that the energy they expended to build was matched by those who tried to stop the rebuilding. They didn’t give up. Some watched and guarded while some built.

Today it’s no different. Some people seem to always be stirring up trouble with their negativity. We must keep working, but keep the protective spiritual covering of prayer going while we keep our eyes on God’s appointed projects.

PRAYER:  Lord, it seems that many try to tear down while others are doing their best to build Your Kingdom. Protect us and grace us to keep at our task.
