#soap # Ezra 06 ## Title: Unlikely Places of Help ## Scripture: (Ezra 6:7) “Leave the work on this temple of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this temple of God in its proper place.” (NET) ## Observation: The Lord has the ability to do the most amazing things from the most unlikely places. He has a way of taking bad situations and making something good out of them or even using our enemies to bless us. When trusting the Lord to come through for you, don’t limit your expectation. Even the bad situations we go through can be used by God to do amazing things in our lives. King Darius does not worship the Lord. He also could have easily told them to stop the work of the Temple. However, God used Darius to bless the people and stop their enemies. Never limit your expectation of what God can do and how He will do it. ## Application: Walk into every challenge today knowing God is in control and not limited by anything. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being with us.
