“Then the people of the land tried to discourage the people of Judah. They troubled them in building, and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius kind of Persia.” Ezra 4: 4-5
Efforts to build in Jerusalem and to remove temple artifacts are still being troubled and discouraged.
Lord, we thank You that Your desires and plans for us will be fulfilled despite the set backs and frustrations that come against us. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Aware
We can have doubts
about what we’re doing
when trouble and frustration
begins to come
but God is aware
of all that’s happening
and will never be
shut down or out done.
