October 5, Ezra 8
An important phrase from this chapter is “the hand of our God” (NIV). It is repeated in verses 18, 22, and 31. Ezra recognized the significance and necessity of having God’s hand upon them. Without God’s favor and blessing, Ezra knew that he and the people were helpless. With God’s hand, anything was possible. So, it is with us. Prayer is our recognition of our constant need of God’s hand on every facet of our lives. How much do you need God’s hand on you today?

October 4, Ezra 7
For the first time after a week of studying the book of Ezra, we are introduced in this chapter to the man Ezra. Ezra 7:10 (NIV) provides us with this description of him, “For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.” Ezra built his life upon God’s Word and invested his life in helping others to know God’s Word. As we daily read the Bible together, my prayer is that we might grow together in founding our lives upon the Word of God.

October 3, Ezra 6
In Ezra 6, we read how King Darius rules in favor of the Jewish people, so that they overcome their enemies. The people press on and complete the work on the temple. After they finished the construction of the temple, Ezra 6:16 (NIV) tells us that they “celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy.” I encourage you to think about how God has been working in your life. May we praise Him for His faithfulness and goodness to us!

October 2, Ezra 5
In Ezra 5, we find that the story on the construction of the temple was not over. God calls two prophets, Haggai and Zechariah, to prophesy to the people and their leaders to get back to work on the temple. Boldly and courageously, they begin rebuilding again despite the opposition of their enemies. When things are the bleakest, God has a special way of stepping in. God’s Word sets things in motion and moves us. The Word of the Lord changes people and changes situations. How might God’s Word transform you and your circumstances?

October 1, Ezra 4
In Ezra 4, the people face strong resistance. Their enemies even go so far as to write to the king to stop the reconstruction of the temple, and the king complies with their request. The work on the temple comes to a screeching stop. As we will find out in the coming days as we continue in the book of Ezra, this was not the end of the story although for the Jews in the moment it might have felt that way. This is a reminder to us. Sometimes, we come to points in our lives where it feels like God’s work is halted. At these times, it is important that we do not despair and give up. The end of the Bible is clear that God gives ultimate victory and deliverance to His people in the end. Let us make sure that we do not quit before we get to the end of the story. Although today might be very difficult, we will not want to miss the end of our story!

September 30, Ezra 3
In Ezra 3, we read that the first part of the construction in Jerusalem was of the altar. This is a fitting beginning point. It is the place where they performed sacrifices. We often associate an altar as a place of prayer, a place of repentance, a place to meet with God. This chapter reminds me of Abram. When he first came to the Promised Land, Genesis 12:7 (NIV) tells us that “he built an altar there to the LORD.” Do you need to build an altar? No, I do not mean a literal, physical altar. However, preparing the altar of our hearts is the proper way for a new start. Repenting and calling upon the Lord is always a good first step to a new beginning.

September 29, Ezra 2
Ezra 2 gives us a long accounting of all who returned to Judah. The end of the chapter talks about how some “gave freewill offerings” (Ezra 2:68 NIV) and how they gave “according to their ability” (Ezra 2:69 NIV). It is easy to pass over these long lists of numbers and unfamiliar names. Rather than doing that, take note of the reality that not everyone went back even though God had provided them with this incredible chance to go home. Likewise, with us God gives each of us amazing opportunities, most notably, the possibility of knowing Jesus. Many people reject God’s invitations to them, but God is fully aware of each one who responds to Him. He does not overlook them. Jesus once said in Matthew 10:42 (NIV), “And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” At the end of the day, God wants each of us willingly to do what we can for His kingdom, and He always will take notice of everything that we do for Him, no matter how big or small it might be.

September 28, Ezra 1
We are going to begin a new study in the book of Ezra. The book begins with the Jewish people in exile. Then the Lord does an amazing thing. Ezra 1:1 (NIV) tells us that “the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation.” Incredibly, Cyrus sets the people free and encourages them to go home to rebuild the temple. They are even provided with resources for this project. All of this had been predicted many, many years before by the prophet Isaiah. Never underestimate or limit how God can work or whose heart He can touch. Also, remember that God always fulfills His Word and His promises.
