Who does God use to accomplish His purposes? As Watermark Institute student Hannah Staubs shows us, God can use those we’d least expect to accomplish His purposes! In today’s episode, Hannah walks us through Ezra 1 and 2, and she helps us understand how God used the prophet Daniel. 
 
 Additional Scripture used in this Podcast:
 Isaiah 45:1 & 45:4-6, God would use Cyrus to accomplish His purposes 
 John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trouble”
 
 The Join The Journey staff team would love the opportunity to get to know you! The upcoming prayer gathering will be held during the normal Watermark prayer service (a take over, if you will) on December, 3rd at 5:30 PM in the chapel at the Watermark Dallas campus. Join us as the podcast family gathers IN PERSON to pray, thanking God for all He’s taught us this past year & looking forward to all that he will do in 2024.
