Nehemiah Study - Dealing With Threats - Nehemiah 4 - Daniel Ostendorff
About this episode
Daniel Ostendorff discusses Nehemiah 4 and how to deal with various threats while rebuilding faith and community.
When opposition grows, it rarely comes from just one direction. In Nehemiah chapter 4, the people rebuilding Jerusalem's walls faced ridicule, the threat of violence, and discouragement from within their own ranks. These three threats follow a pattern that shows up in marriages, finances, callings, and faith today. Nehemiah's response was not complicated, but it was consistent. He prayed first, kept working, acted with wisdom, and reminded the people of who God is. The result was that God frustrated the plans of those who opposed the work, and the building continued. When fear grows large and an easier path starts to look appealing, the answer is to fix your eyes back on the God who is great and awesome. He has not left you to face this alone.
