Nehemiah 4:17 "Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon."
Nehemiah is rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonities and the Ashdodites conspired to put a stop to Nehemiah's plans. So the Israelites had to be ready for a fight at any time of the day.
I think that this is a perfect symbol of a Christian. One hand they constructed, the other they held a weapon, ready for a fight when who ever came knocking. We must work hard at rebuilding the walls of our heart, but do not be ignorant towards the evil that waits for you. Do not fear the battle, but anticipate the victory. Work hard at rebuilding yourself, and be ready for a fight. Peace comes only after a war. You must fight and you will win.
"Lord I open my heart to you. Search me deep down inside and show me who I am, not what I am."
