"Nehemiah’s enemies became more desperate. Four times they entreated him to leave the safety of the city and meet with them under the pretense of resolving the conflict, but Nehemiah knew that their intent was to do him harm. Each time they approached him, he responded with the same answer: “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.” 10 What a remarkable response! With that clear and unchanging purpose of heart and mind, with that great resolve, the walls of Jerusalem rose until they were rebuilt in an astonishing 52 days. 11 Nehemiah refused to allow distractions to prevent him from doing what the Lord wanted him to do." Let us all work hard for the Lord and all those things we are asked to do, not letting our enemies hold us down or back from our true potential.
