He was obeying God and god provided him the discernment to resist the stumblings blocks these men were putting in his way. The other benefit is knowing who you are in Christ according to his word and His promises so then when you experience slander like Nehemiah you will be able to stay calm and confident knowing you are here for an audience of One and that is God so as long as we are good in His eyes what others says doesn’t matter!
The enemy spreads “fake news” and shares false accusations to cause us to respond in fear or act defensively when no such thing is occurring.
Good policy: consult the Lord before reacting.
