“In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem: Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid. It is to be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide, with three courses of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury. Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the house of God.”
‭‭Ezra‬ ‭6:3-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬
We serve a God who can restore everything we have lost and cause people to make decisions in our favor.
Today, we pray that God should move the hearts of people towards us, and cause those in authority to favor us. Cyrus was king of Persia, but God laid it on his heart to complete the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem at his own cost. Lord send into our lives people who will seek our good and people who have the power to give us what we need. We ask that the Lord will bring us people who will build us and not tear us down. We ask for people who will lead us, show us how, link us to a business contact, show us the source of a product and give us solutions, who will lift us up and let us know that we are able to overcome.
“In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:”
‭‭Ezra‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Father move the heart of every “Cyrus” in our lives to make choices that will favor us, and make us whole. In the name of Jesus.
