So Nehemiah is rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. Huge project. God-given vision.

His enemies keep sending him messages: ‘Come down and meet with us. Let’s talk.’

Sounds innocent, right? But Nehemiah knows it’s a trap to waste his time.

His response? It is well known.

‘I am doing great work and I cannot come down.’

Four times they asked. Four times he said no.

He stayed focused. Finished the wall in 52 days. A project that seemed impossible.

Here’s the thing: not every meeting deserves your presence. Not every opportunity is YOUR opportunity. 

Not every ‘let’s talk’ is worth coming down from your wall.

If God gave you the vision, protect it. Stay focused. Keep building.

Take 60 seconds right now: Write down your “great work” and one distraction you’re saying NO to this week. Screenshot it. Make it real.
