Nehemiah 4:1-23, “Providence and Progress”

Intro: In Nehemiah 4:1-23 the rebuilding of the wall continues and the people begin to tire and face even more intense opposition. This time though it moves from mere words to the threat of actual violence. From this chapter we can learn much from how Nehemiah wisely motivates and leads his people, and how progress, even under God's providence, is painful.
