Standing Firm Against Deception
Show Summary
In Nehemiah 6, we see a shift in strategy from Nehemiah’s enemies. Instead of direct opposition, they use deception,
false accusations, and manipulation to stop the work. Yet Nehemiah remains steadfast, discerning, and prayerful.
This chapter teaches us how to stand firm when facing lies, intimidation, and spiritual pressure, relying not on
fear but on God’s strength and wisdom.

Conclusion
Thanks for joining me today on Reading the Bible Daily with Dave. Nehemiah 6 shows us the importance of standing firm against deception and relying on God’s strength to complete His work. Tomorrow, we will continue our journey through Nehemiah as we look at how the wall is finally completed, and the people are renewed in their commitment to God.
