Nehemiah 4:1 (ESV)Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry & greatly enraged, & he jeered at the Jews. Neh 4:7 When Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, & the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward & that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry. Neh 4:8-9 They all plotted together to come & fight against Jerusalem & to cause confusion in it. & we prayed to our God & set a guard as a protection against them day & night. — the enemy wants to stop the work of God! —Nehemiah 6:3 I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work & I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” — The word here is to push thru the obstacles that come against us to stop our good works! Don’t Stop! Remember perseverance is a virtue. Love Mel
