Back to Jerusalem
Today’s Reading: Ezra 1:1-11
Focal Verse: Psalm 126:5-6
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.
Some of us are living our lives as if we were in prison. We have sinned against God and our sins and their consequences have held us captive. Some of you may be comfortable there, but for those who hearts God is stirring, freedom is ahead. God wants to set you free!
When the time came for God’s people to return to Israel, God paved their way. He changed the heart of a king to release them to go back and take back to the temple what had been stolen. He changed the hearts of others to give freewill offerings to provide them with what they needed.
God wants you to be set free and come with Him. You can depend on His grace to provide you with all you need for the journey.
If you are ready to get out of that prison, come back to God today.
Trust Him to pave your way.
If you know someone in “prison”, ask God how you can be used to restore that person to Him.
