Nehemiah 6Nehemiah speaks here of numerous attempts to make him afraid. The non-Israelite leaders of the land were themselves afraid that God would empower Nehemiah to lead a rebellion. They also feared the policy against intermarriage which had been enforced by Ezra. They wanted the rebuilding to stop, and they tried everything short of all-out war to top it. Nevertheless, the wall was finished. It was a lesson in faithfulness amid conflict for the Jews, who did this thing with the help of their God.
LORD, keep us faithful to our calling regardless of the attempts to stop us.
