Ezra 5&6

Meditation verse of Ezra chapters 5&6:

We read in chapter 5 about resuming the building of the house of God and how God was helping them; the work was fast and with success. 

We read in chapter 6 about king Darius encouraging the children of Israel to build the house of God. 

In chapter 6 verse 1 we see that king Darius searched for the decree that has been issued by king Cyrus to rebuild the house of God, and he founded, so he gave an order to continue the work. We should trust God and His support to deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we should ask for His help and relay on Him.
