Expect Opposition to living by God’s Word (Ezra 4-6)

Expect Opposition to Living by God’s Word

Ezra 4-6

(Reading 4:1-5, 5:1-2, 6:13-18)

The Israelites faced opposition as they attempted to build God’s temple.

But God’s prophets continued to speak His word

And God continued to show His supreme sovereignty.

There are lessons we can learn.

– We too should expect opposition to living for God.

– But we know God still speaks through His word.

– And God does not change. He is unfailingly faithful, supremely sovereign and desires people to live by His word.

That’s two truths we also see in the Gospel of Jesus

So, let’s keep learning to live by the word of our powerful God
