Text: Nehemiah 4
When the work of God’s people gains momentum and begins to take shape, it is almost assured that opposition to the work will intensify and threaten to stall the work and discourage the workers. It is in these moments that we can remind one another that if God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31). Instead of cowering in fear of the growing opposition, we can be assured that confidence in God’s protection produces courage in God’s people so that the main thing remains the main thing in the hills, the valleys, the conflict, and the calm.
