Nehemiah 6: Staying Focused on God’s Mission | Practical Advice from the Scriptures

When enemies tried to stop Nehemiah through fear, lies, and manipulation, he didn’t argue. He didn’t flinch. He simply said, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.” In this episode, we explore Nehemiah Chapter 6—where the wall is nearly finished, but the pressure is at its highest. Sanballat, Tobiah, and other enemies resort to personal attacks, deception, and spiritual sabotage. Nehemiah responds with unshakable focus, spiritual discernment, and bold faith.

We’ll unpack the ancient wisdom in this chapter and draw out practical insights for today:

• How to recognize and resist distractions
• Why discernment is critical when facing hidden agendas
• The role of fear—and how to rise above it
• The importance of keeping your focus when you’re close to breakthrough
• And why true success is always the work of God

If you’ve ever felt worn down by opposition, tempted to walk away from your purpose, or unsure who to trust—this chapter offers a grounded, powerful reminder: stay on the wall. Don’t come down.
