What has God called you to do? Consider your calling (and ALL Christians have a calling). Nehemiah was patient in his planning to carry out God's call. Consider your vision of making your calling a reality. The walls of Jerusalem were a symbol of God's protection. When Nehemiah shared his vision for rebuilding the walls as God had revealed to him, those who would be involved responded in a positive manner as they recognized that the power of God was behind the rebuilding. But there has always been and will always be those who oppose the works of believers.
