The Strength of Those Who Bear the Blessing Is Failing

In the book of Nehemiah, a man called sandballot is trying to get his way. He's not just some nosy neighbor but someone with real power and influence. The people of Israel themselves also tried to stop him from doing what he was doing. This kind of pressure starts to wear on a guy; it can cause us to be afraid to do things in our lives that Jesus would have us do.
