Ezra 7-8 :: Love for God's Word and His blessings in our lives seem to be inextricably tied together. God uses people who trust Him and live according to His statutes. Ezra teaches us this. Ezra's firm belief is found in the statement "the hand of God is for good on those who seek Him." If God blesses those who seek Him then, "what does it look like for us to seek Him?"
The book of Ezra records the history of the people of Israel after the Babylon captivity. God's punishment was replaced by restoration for the people through God spurring the heart of a pagan king. What can this brief historical account reveal to us about God's character?
