Ezra 6:2. “And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.” LET GOD DO IT. It may seem like we have to just stop and wait, When the forces of evil oppose. But if we take time to carefully state In prayer the problem and the name of those Who are trying to keep from happening What God intends to be done – He can change the heart and attitude of a king, So that all the opposition will soon be gone.
A change of attitude is not a bad thing, I know at times God did it for me. When I was critical about what others did bring, I didn’t take the time to see – That God was in control, my attitude was wrong Because He has His own plan to follow. The way God does things often makes faith strong – He has reasons for what He does allow.
There are areas of work God intends for me To take control of, and with vigor do. The building of the house of God must be done carefully So that it is like what God wants when it is through. Worship and rejoicing can come from in our hearts, Springing forth and bringing honor to God. But when Satan challenges and opposition starts, We must rely on the strength of the Lord.
When I have no answer to a dilemma – Then I must let God do it.
When the ways of the world seek to enter – I can trust God to guide us through it. When the heart of the king seems to turn against us, And we have done all we can; Then we turn it all over to the God we trust – He is not limited by the strength of a man.
“O Righteous God; Thy cause is such that it can bring blessing to all who are willing to submit to Thee. Thy saving grace changes the attitude of hard-hearted people. Righteous judgment of a matter, can bring changes that last. Thy Word, when people will read it, gives faith and light. Thy love moves people to respond to Thee in gratitude and thanks. Let Thy light and Thy truth bring a strengthening to the work of Thy servant. May the hearts of many be turned to submit to Thee, Gracious Father. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
