In today's episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we walk through Ezra chapter 5, where God revives His people through the preaching of His Word. After years of discouragement and halted progress, the Lord sends His prophets Haggai and Zechariah to speak truth, strengthen weary hearts, and rekindle the rebuilding of the temple. This chapter shows us that when God's people lose courage, His Word restores conviction, obedience, and hope. Even renewed opposition cannot stop what God commands. And through His sovereign providence, the Lord uses every circumstance even the actions of adversaries to advance His purposes. In this devotional you will learn: • How God revives His people through Scripture. • Why obedience continues despite pressure and resistance. • How God's providence protects the work of His people. • How this passage points us to Christ, who strengthens His Church today. If you are discouraged or facing obstacles in your walk with God, Ezra 5 is a reminder that God's Spirit empowers His people to press on in faith. Scripture: Ezra 5:1–17 Key Verse: Zechariah 4:6 – "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts."
