Ezra’s record of his return from Babylon begins with the fundamental traits of a work of God in any generation. His Word is proven true, the necessary participants and factors are all taken care of, and those who are a part of that work are filled with the Holy Spirit to accomplish everything He’s called them to personally.

1. The reason we trust God regarding our present is because He has an unbroken track record of talking about the past and future.

2. God personally provides Himself to equip us for what He calls us to.

3. Those who are the most heavenly minded are the most earthly good.
