Two Lessons from Ezra 4-6

1.  Opposition to the people of God will come.

“Now when the adversaries” (Ezra 4:1)
 
“did me much harm” (2 Timothy 4:14)
 
“suffers as a Christian” (1 Peter 4:12-19)



2.  True joy comes from our GOD.

“Jehovah made them joyful” (Ezra 6:22)
 
“My joy may remain in you” (John 15:11)
 
“joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17)

Read Ezra 1-6 and trust in your God and Father to work all things together for your good and His glory!
