September 18 "Sounds Heard Found Far Away" Ezra 1, 2, 3

Ezra 3:11 - And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord,

“For he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever toward Israel.”

And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But the old men wept loud. Duplicity of voices coming out of captivity. What it must have felt like.

And Jeremiah's prophecy lives. And the prophets reign while the crowns fall off the head of kings. And these dry bones live again, love again. 

What about my own dry bones.

 Have we inquired of God today to come alive, stay alive. 

COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Oh Father! Make me truly live this day. May we not miss Your Grace.

  1. The exiles return, the foundation was laid, and the people shouted with a great shout, the sound was heard far away. Can you imagine if we as Christians treated every church service as if the foundation was being laid and the exiles were returning to their beloved land? O that worshiping our Holy God would be the most exciting thing we do.
