When Nehemiah led God’s people to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem, the work was immediately met with opposition. Sanballat mocked them, questioned their strength, and tried to sow doubt. But notice—his fury was proof the work was advancing.

The enemy doesn’t waste energy on what doesn’t threaten him. If you’re experiencing confrontation—whether it’s discouragement, resistance, or attack—it may actually be confirmation that you’re on the right wall.

Nehemiah didn’t stop when mocked. He prayed, rallied the people, and kept building. The wall was worth it. The calling was worth it. And the confrontation became fuel for perseverance.

In your life, the same is true. If the enemy is pressing, it’s because the work you’re doing matters. Don’t quit when confronted—stand firm, and let it confirm the value of what God has asked you to build.

Identify one confrontation you’ve been facing and reframe it: instead of seeing it as defeat, declare it as confirmation of God’s calling.

Father, when I face confrontation, help me see it not as failure but as confirmation. Strengthen my hands for the work You’ve called me to. Give me courage to keep building the wall You’ve set before me. Amen.
