—Ezra 5:13-17
by: Matthew Berg.
We must offer our best when returning to God's house (v. 13). When we come to the end of a project, we must relish how God has been with us each step of the way. "From that time until now" (v. 16, NRSV) may represent any number of things: the time it has taken, the geography covered during that period of time. Whatever the case may be, we need to be aware and intentional about recognizing God's hand in our development.
