Ezra Part 5: Temptations And Opposition (Mother's Day) (Ezra 4:1-23)
Manage episode 363500107 series 2286268
When we set out to build what God has commissioned we will face increased temptation and opposition. In Ezra 4 we are given insight into multiple enemy tactics so that we can be aware and better prepared. Attempts to dilute and infiltrate our work should not be shocking to us, temptations to compromise on core-level issues, to appease an ungodly culture, with the goal of allowing that culture to affect our worship and how we build. He'll also try to discourage us from building at all, even accusing and attacking our character, trying to convince us we have been disqualified from doing God's work. However, the deceptive work of our enemy cannot ultimately prevail over God's plan and purpose. Our history is not what defines us; God does that, superseding both our sin and our history. God is with us, and His hand of strength and favor is with us, so we can face any setbacks, delays, and opposition with the strength He provides!
