Ezra 6 - 8

Brothers and Sisters,

We read in Proverbs 16:7, "When the LORD takes pleasure in anyone's way, he causes their enemies to make peace with them." The same people who were complaining about the rebuilding in Ezra 5, are the ones that will need to support the building of the temple with money and sacrificial animals in Ezra 6. God can turn your enemies into your helpers.

Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of God:

Their expenses are to be fully paid out of the royal treasury, from the revenues of Trans-Euphrates, so that the work will not stop. Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and olive oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem—must be given them daily without fail, 10 so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons. (Ezra 6)

Please read Ezra 6 - 8. And Listen.

May the Lord richly bless you!
