Nehemiah 2:20. The faithful will always achieve success through God. God desires to bless all of us. In the Bible are recorded hundreds and hundreds of God's promises to bless us. All we need to do is have faith in His promises. His Son, Jesus Christ, has given us all a means to achieve success in this world and in the hereafter.

Nehemiah 9:17. From God's perspective, He must be amazed at the choices we make because of our sin nature. This was the case with the Jews when Moses led them out bondage. The Jews soon after being led into the wilderness decided to rebel with the express purpose of returning to their bondage in Egypt.
