28 and who has extended his good favor to me before the king and his advisers and all the king’s powerful officials. Because the hand of the Lord my God was on me, I took courage and gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me.
and from the message same verse...My God was on my side and I was ready to go.
I liked the context of Ezra's work from the NIV but I like the simplicity of the Message version.
My God is with me...am I ready to go?
have a great weekend. I did a little research and read that Ezra and Nehemiah were once combined so as we click through this I think we should hit that next.

I found this one tough. I lost my train of concentration several times..........just wasn't grabbing me.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplified version too. Its a good motto for our lives today. "My God is with me, and I'm ready to go"
This can be the phrase I say over and over in my head, for today, and this weekend.
