Who builds a wall. Expect opposition.
In this powerful exploration of Nehemiah's story, we're challenged to consider: Who builds a wall? This isn't just about ancient Jerusalem—it's about our spiritual lives today. Nehemiah's journey teaches us that those who expect opposition, have insight, and follow their calling are the ones who build protective walls. As believers, we're called to construct spiritual barriers against the enemy's attacks. Through prayer, God's Word, accountability, and fellowship, we can fortify our faith. The parallels between Nehemiah's physical wall-building and our spiritual defenses are striking. We're reminded that our weapons aren't worldly, but have divine power to demolish strongholds. This message urges us to be vigilant, to recognize the need for spiritual protection in our lives and families, and to stand firm in our identity in Christ. It's a call to action—to actively build walls that shield us from spiritual warfare while allowing us to engage with the world on God's terms.
