Opposition
Opposition always come at the worst times. Doing things for God can get very discouraging at times as a result of opposition. We may see it from internal sources, the world, the devil, etc.
In Ezra 4:4-5, we read, "Then the people of the land tried to discourage the people of Judah. They troubled them in building, and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purposes..." The opponents brought troubles against the people of God.
The Israelites had been rebuilding the House of God. As they make progress, the opposition comes. Discouragement from other peoples, as well as authoritative figures making them stop their construction.
In this same way, different ungodly sources bring disappointment and opposition. We must look to God even more during these times. We need to rely on Him and reach to Him in order to overcome this. These things only need to bring you down when you're doing something great for God, when you are living in the potential God has given to your life.
