[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (10/21/17)[:]

[:en]Ezra was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses (Ez. 7:6), who was appointed by King Artaxerxes to lead an expedition of Hebrew exiles back to Jerusalem.  Upon arrival at Jerusalem, Ezra learned that the Jewish men had married women who worshiped other gods.  He was much in grief and prayed in heartfelt repentance.  In humility, he trusted in the love and goodness of our amazing God.[:]
