Success is a magnet.
It pulls opportunity.
It pulls momentum.
It also pulls enemies.
Nehemiah finished Jerusalem’s wall in 52 days.
Miraculous. Historic.
But Nehemiah knew the truth most people forget:
Finishing isn’t the finish line.
When you succeed, you attract everything — the good and the bad.
Supporters. Imitators. Critics. Saboteurs.
Your success becomes a signal. A spotlight.
That’s why Nehemiah didn’t celebrate when the wall went up.
He fortified it.
He posted guards.
He tightened the perimeter.
He finished and fortified.
Because a blessing unguarded is a blessing abandoned.
