Our Help Comes From!
This was from my Bible reading this morning. A reminder of where our help truly comes from. You can read the background if you want. Ezra and those who went with him were headed from Babylon back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple.
Ezra 8
21Then I proclaimed a
fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves
before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little
ones, and for all our substance.
22 For
I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to
help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the
king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek
him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.
31 Then
we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first
month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he
delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by
the way.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Blessings!
