Ezra Part 7: God Turns The Tide (Ezra 5:6-6:15)

In Ezra Chapter 5 we find God's people building the temple diligently and successfully. They are using new materials, yet still building on the same foundation as the first temple in Jerusalem, so what they are building is new and also not new. As they build with God at the center, they may still face opposition, but we see God turning the tide on behalf of His people. Yes, opposition will rise up against what God is building but the God who causes the tides of history to change can bring great favor, even from the opposition. God knows how to provide, how to bless, and how to follow through on His promises!
