Bible Reading: Ezra 5: 1 - 5
Topic: Press The Re-start Button
Prompted by the Spirit of
God, Prophets Haggai and Zechariah encouraged the Jews to resume work on the
Temple instead of building their own private houses (Haggai 1: 4).
Hence Zerubbabel and
Jeshua obeyed and work resumed (v. 2)
Opposition to the work
came from the arrival of the Persian Governor - Tattenai and his team to the
Temple site. They demanded to know who gave the Jews the authority to restart
the work and the names of Jewish leaders (vs. 3 - 4).
Because of the Divine
Presence with the Jews, the opposition could not stop the work but merely sent
a letter to King Darius to determine what should be done.
Whenever the Spirit of God
moves you to act, you should obey. If any opposition comes, you should just
depend on God to take full control and ensure that the work goes ahead.
Do you have any
uncompleted work or project? God is telling you today to pres the re-start
button.
As you re-start the work,
expect Him to give you victory over any opposition that may arise.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me
to trust and obey You to complete any uncompleted project in my life in Jesus
Name, Amen.
Memory Verse Ezra 5: 2
"Thus rose up
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtier and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to
build the House of God which is at Jerusalem and with them were the Prophets of
God helping them."
