—Ezra 2:64-70
by: Matthew Berg.
We must be as freewill offerings in our lives (Romans 12:1) just as God's people did in their return from exile. Again, verses 68-70 show us the imperative for leaders (heads of households, priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants). Where do you fit in that list of people? Surely God has called you to some amount of leadership within the Body of Christ. What can you do "according to your ability" (v. 69)? These people were called to "restore it on its foundation" (v. 68). What foundational areas should we attend to?
