Nehemiah - Chapter 4: The enemy is furious that the walls are being rebuilt. They threaten war and ridicule the Jews for their feeble attempts to protect the city from them. The people are afraid so Nehemiah prays to God and works out a strategy where half the men stand guard with weapons while the other half work holding their swords. The enemy becomes intimidated. The rebuilding continues. (Turn obstacles into blessings because they make you stronger and more creative.)
