Summary
Have you ever felt stuck? The same, monotonous routine. A frustrating, continued circumstance. Unanswered questions and prayers. You're not alone. The Israelites felt this for years and years. The book of Ezra is devoted to events occurring in the land of Israel at the time of the return from the Babylonian captivity and subsequent years, covering a period of approximately one century. 100 years! After 100 years, Ezra and the Israelites certainly understood the struggle with being stuck, praying and asking God, "Why? When will this end?" But, just as God did for His people at this time in history, He does the same for us – He shows up in His perfect timing. He sees us in our confusion, our pain, and our hurt. Even when we don't have a clue or cannot see it, He's working behind the scenes – for our good and for His glory. Even the hard things. Even the confusing things. Even when the timing seems "wrong" to us. He's doing a new thing, in each of His children, at all times. He's rebuilding, He's preparing us, and He's working according to His will.
