Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
Blessed be God that He does such things as He does. I see three evidences of the blessings of God here.
He prepared a man to minister through the Word of God
Ezra was prepared of the Lord to prepare himself to serve the Lord. I am thankful God calls and equips men for His service.
He prepared an opportunity for the ministry to be accomplished
God led the king to allow Ezra to accomplish the ministry God had called him to. All that a man of God is able to do, the opportunities opened to him, are of the Lord. Many times, the challenges seem enormous. Still, it is God who makes the way to overcome them.
He prepared others to unite and “go up with” him.
No man of God accomplishes a thing on his own. There are always others. There must always be others. The Bible says Ezra ”gathered together” these men. We know he could never have done that without the blessing of the Lord.
It is always God who puts such things as this in the hearts of men.
Blessed be the Lord God
