Ezra 1-3
As the people returned from captivity in Babylon, they set about the work of rebuilding the temple and reestablishing temple worship. This was difficult work, requiring a lot of dedication. Yet, for all its hard work, they were rejoicing with songs of praise. They had been deprived of openly worshiping God in the manner in which they were accustomed, and now they were being given this opportunity to worship freely, in spite of the nations who would take this right if able. In America we cherish our constitutional right to worship as we please. Do we praise the One who blessed our nation with godly men who saw fit to make this a right? Let us pray that none will ever deprive us of this freedom.
