Ezra 3-6

In Ezra 3–6, God’s people returned to a land still scarred by destruction, yet their first act was to rebuild the altar and lift their voices in worship. Before the temple was finished, before opposition was silenced, they chose to glorify God in the rubble. This passage reminds us that worship is not reserved for perfect circumstances but is the foundation for rebuilding our lives. Even when resistance comes, God sends His Word through His Spirit to strengthen us, call us to holiness, and renew our hope. Today, we are invited to worship in the midst of unfinished places, trusting the One who is faithful to complete what He began.
