—Ezra 7:11-22
by: Andrea Pozo.
Have you ever found yourself thinking that your problem is impossible to solve? With God, there is no such thing. This passage is an excellent example of the sovereignty of the Lord. He can use anyone or anything to make His will for us become a reality. In this case, He used King Artaxerxes, the most powerful man in the world, to provide both the permits and the resources for Ezra to go back and rebuild in Jerusalem. Is there an area of your life that seems devastated beyond repair? Pray to the Lord and tell him how you feel. Then, just leave it in His capable hands—He will handle it.
