For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done.” But now, O God, strengthen my hands. Neh 6:9 ESV
Not too many people understand how fear can paralyze them from actions. They may have started something that will get them out of trouble, and progress is visible. What they are doing will benefit them, those around them, and even the generation after then, then circumstances, crisis, people, spiritual forces, calamities, natural disaster... will try to put fear in their hearts so that they will get tired of doing what they have started. The intention is to have them gripped with fear so they won't be able to continue the work and keep them from achieving their goal in the first place and stop them from finishing. The opposition have seen it in the past. Many have tried to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after it had been in ruins. They have all failed. The worked had been stopped, opposed and so much more... but here, it was finished in record breaking time of 52 days while being ridiculed, criticized, threatened, lied about to top it all. Do not let opposition make you lose sight of what God called you to do. Finish the work. Do not give up. 20 May
