To some people, it seems obvious that God has made us for more. What’s not so clear, is why the ‘more’ doesn’t last longer.

The walls were up but renewal didn’t come. Why not? Because God wants to renew us from the inside out, not the outside in.

The reforms of Ezra are clear. If the Israelites are to truly rebuild, things must change. Only total surrender to God will do.

When the Israel remnant returned, they imagined God rebuilding walls and sacred spaces. But His top priority has never been rebuilding such things. When God imagines a ‘rebuild,’ what does He see?

Just like Israel returning from exile, a rejoicing remnant is needed to rebuild foundations.

The global trauma of 2020 has left many of us rattled. Much like Israel coming home from exile, we are a remnant needing to rebuild. And there is only one place to start.
