Knocked Down, but Not Knocked Out, Part 2

<br /><em>Nehemiah 4:1-9</em><br/><p>It&rsquo;s no surprise that people often step down from positions of leadership. Leadership is costly. It demands physical and emotional energy, time, and resources.</p><p>Many placed in the same difficult position as Nehemiah would have quit. He faced ever-increasing opposition in his mission to rebuild Jerusalem&rsquo;s wall. Yet Nehemiah 4:1&ndash;9 shows that Israel&rsquo;s leader didn&rsquo;t back down, and the wall kept going up.</p><p>How did he do it? Nehemiah pressed into prayer. Listen to these prayers with Pastor Chuck Swindoll, and remember that, when God is in a project, it can&rsquo;t fail!</p>
