OPPOSITION

Nehemiah 6:15-16

The Builders Complete the Wall

15 So on October 2 the wall was finished—just fifty-two days after we had begun. 16 When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God.


Read Nehemiah 4-6 for context.

Satan will oppose the plans of God. The good that God has planned for His people will come to pass but there may be struggles … bumps in the road … along the way. Nehemiah and the Jews remained focused on the task, not letting their enemies get them off track.

Stay the course, whatever the task. Don’t let the enemies of God distract you. Most of all, be confident that as God did with Nehemiah, He will be there to help.
