Don't know what will happen next? Do this ⬇️
Maybe you've just come through something hard. Maybe you're still in the middle of it. Maybe things are finally starting to stabilize but you're almost afraid to hope. Maybe you're looking forward to the day when you can say "Thank God I made it through."
If you're in a season where the future feels uncertain, understand this: the people of Israel knew that feeling.
As the book of Ezra recounts, they had just walked out of exile, one of the most painful seasons in their entire history. And when they finally came home, everything still needed to be rebuilt. The future was completely unknown. But the first thing they did was worship.
Not after things were figured out. Not once life made sense again. They worshipped, choosing to trust God with a future they couldn't yet see.
This is the radical idea at the heart of the book of Ezra. And wherever you are at this moment, whether it's the ruins, the rebuilding, or the in-between, God is still faithful. His love still holds. The future is in His hands. And praise is still worth offering, even before you know how it all turns out.
