Listen to the entire series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLteVs-tVfPH-UGz61f2SqeS-eG1h-I2-h As Nehemiah and the Israelites constructed Jerusalem’s wall, obstacles seemed to grow around them. Nehemiah 4:9–23 reveals that the most prominent among these problems was the disease of discouragement, which spread throughout the workforce like a plague. Discouragement was an invisible force that inflicted the people with a loss of strength, loss of vision, loss of confidence, and a loss of security. We all face discouragement, but it doesn’t have to take us down!
