—Ezra 7:21-28
by: Steve Osborn.
When we obey God’s call to pursue the fulfillment of a particular task, His hand will be upon us as we do it. Just as God blessed Ezra’s obedience by moving the kings heart to help him, God works on our behalf when we step out in faith. One of the “tasks” God has called us all to is to pursue justice. It may not be the easy thing, or the fun thing, or the convenient thing, but if we obey God in this, He will extend lovingkindness to us and will strengthen us by His mighty hand (v.28).
