Psalm: 45

Meditation: Ezra
The work on the walls and temple had been halted for over 15 years. Through the preaching of God’s prophet and the Jewish leaders, the people began to rebuild again. Once again out of hatred and fear,  Persian officials from other areas objected to the rebuilding of any part of Jerusalem, and letters from all parties were sent to King Darius.
