September 25, Day 268

Today's Reading

We are in a season of many repossessions and resale of properties.  I am told that it is common for foreclosed property to be in pretty bad shape.  Today we return to the account of Ezra.  Ezra wrote the first half of the history that bears his name, but it had happened some years before his arrival.  in today's passage, he arrives and discovers that much about Jerusalem had to be cleaned up besides the rubble and dirt.  The people's lives were a mess; even those of the spiritual leaders.  God was with him and they dealt with much of the junk that accumulated during the years God's people had been in distant lands.
