September 25 Ezra 4:6-6:13 Even Pagan Kings Are Used for God's Good Purposes

God sends Haggai and Zechariah to rally the people to obey and rebuild the temple. Opposition once again rears its ugly head. However, God works through King Darius to not only allow the work to continue, but tells the opposition to fund the venture! The Bible actually contains a letter from a pagan emperor as part of our Holy Scriptures. We should not focus on the words of the king, but instead the superintendence of the Great King over all.

When God is in something, nothing can block it. He erases all opposition and brings blessing to ensure what He wants succeeds. If God truly calls you to do something, nothing can block it. Now, you may have obstacles to overcome as God intends you to trust Him and persevere, but you will succeed (actually God will through you).

When Jesus says, "I will build my church," you can be sure that Satan can not stop its growth. When we seek to do God's will, we will never lose.

Ecclesiastes 7:13: Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what He has made crooked?

Romans 8:31: What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Go have a great day doing God's will, you winner you.
