Success doesn’t always make you a star. Sometimes it makes you a target.

That’s what happens to Nehemiah and the Jews who are at work rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls. In the 4th chapter, verses 1-14, we see these truths:

1. Accomplishments will make you a target.

2. Never underestimate what a unified body of people can accomplish.

3. Anticipate resistance to increase in intensity the more you achieve.

4. Understand resistance comes from both internal and external sources.

5. Prayer is not a substitute for action.
