September 17, Day 260

Today's Reading

With the return to Israel after 70 years of exile, we are nearing the end of the events of the Old Testament.  If you were with us at Stone Ridge this summer of 2011, we studied the book of Zechariah, which was received and shared during the days of Ezra and Nehemiah.

Note how God had preserved so many articles that had been stolen from the Temple.  Note how God made a way for them to go back and rebuild.  Their captivity was judgment for their disobedience and the judgment was complete; their hearts were humble and they were ready to go back.  What a picture of how God faithfully works on us!
