Good day dear friends.
The Memorial Service for Gladys Chappell shall be on Saturday at La Vista Retirement Center, 1615 Redwood St. If you know Hugh and Toni, please make an effort to be with them. Gladys is Toni's sister and I know Toni would appreciate your presence with them. It's from 2 to 4.
Thursday: Ezra 1, 2, 3What is the significance of the statistics of people and livestock in Ezra 2?
It is to Cyrus' credit that an accounting not only of things, but of people as well, was made to show to the people and to God, that these were being returned home. It was within Cyrus' power and right, to do with these people and things as he wished, and obviously his wish was to show that he was aware of and in his way, believed in God, and wanted to be obedient to the leading of God's Spirit in the restoration of the worship to God. The divisions of people according to family and to responsibility show that Cyrus was aware of what all was involved in this massive project of restoration and rebuilding.
How well do you care for the things of God in your care? Let's start with your life. Are you pleasing the Lord with decisions you've made recently? How about your family? Are you caring for them in ways that are nurturing them towards God or not? How about your career? Are you serving Him and doing all you can to show Him you care about the vocation/career/job that you have? Are you the best at what you do? And if so, do you give God credit?
PRAYER: I am so blessed. And yet, I confess that not always have I followed You. Forgive me those times and let me start over, counting my blessings before You. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
