THAT Ahaseurus\u2026the husband of Esther!) to write a most important letter to be carried throughout the kingdom which determined that much wealth and \u201cthings\u201d were acquired for the beautifying of the Temple in Jerusalem. (You can read the whole amazing record <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=ezra%207&amp;version=AMP\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">On the first of the first month he started out from Babylon,<br \/>\nand on the first of the fifth month he arrived in Jerusalem,<br \/>\nfor upon him was the good hand of his God.<br \/>\nFor Ezra had prepared and set his heart to seek the Law of the Lord<br \/>\n[to inquire for it and of it, to require and yearn for it],<br \/>\nand to do and teach in Israel its statutes and its ordinances.<br \/>\nEzra 7:9 and 10<\/p>\n<p>Ezra wrote (&#8216;scribed&#8217;) the king\u2019s decree and also accompanied the letter throughout the kingdom. He thoroughly understood the magnitude of this event and praised God saying,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Blessed be the Lord, the God of our fathers [said Ezra],<br \/>\nWho put such a thing as this into the king\u2019s heart,<br \/>\nto beautify the house of the Lord in Jerusalem,<br \/>\nand Who has extended His mercy and steadfast love to me<br \/>\nbefore the king, his counselors, and all the king\u2019s mighty officers.<br \/>\nI was strengthened and encouraged,<br \/>\nfor the hand of the Lord my God was upon me,<br \/>\nand I gathered together outstanding men of Israel to go with me to Jerusalem.<br \/>\nverses 27 and 28<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s hand accomplishes small and mighty things! \u00a0The point is not in the enormity of His blessing but the point is His sovereignty! \u00a0<em>Our God has had the entire world and the lives of every person ever born \u2018<span style=\"color: #800080;\">in His hand<\/span>\u2019 all along<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The prophet Isaiah was given many strong encouraging AND admonishing words to speak to God\u2019s people. \u00a0He had told them just how to pursue God when fasting and they chose to do it their own way\u2026and they did not receive the things they were asking of the Lord. \u00a0And Isaiah plainly told them why \u201cthe Lord\u2019s hand\u201d was against them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Behold, the Lord\u2019s hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save,<br \/>\nnor His ear dull with deafness, that it cannot hear.<br \/>\nBut your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,<br \/>\nand your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.<br \/>\nIsaiah 59:1 and 2<\/p>\n<p>We, as well, must always have the true fear of the Lord in our hearts compelling us to believe (and obey!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest,<br \/>\nany one of you may seem to have come short of it.<br \/>\nFor indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also;<br \/>\nbut the word\u00a0they heard did not profit them,<br \/>\nbecause it was not united by faith in those who heard.<br \/>\nFor we who have believed enter that rest\u2026.<br \/>\nHebrews 4:1-3<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s heart (and His accompanying hand of provision and blessing) is to always provide what is good and best for those who seek Him. \u00a0As Unspoken sings, \u201c<em><span style=\"color: #800080;\">every sorrow\u2026sickness\u2026failure as well as every promise\u2026healing\u2026and our
