As Ezra tells of the struggle the Israelites had with rebuilding the wall, and all the opposition that came with it, it reminds me of a few things.
First - few good things in life come easy. Generally, things are worth a lot are not just handed to us on a silver platter. We have to work for them.
Second - when we are doing God's work, we will be opposed. There will be hardship, it will not be smooth sailing. This isn't God closing a door, it's a call to perseverance. It's a call to remain faithful despite the difficulty. It's a call to rely on God's strength instead of our own to complete the work.
Third - God will send encouragement and reinforcements.
Fourth - if God will it, it will succeed, no matter the opposition.
