Ezra 3 - Discouragement Often Comes after Calling
In today's episode:
- The Israelites prove their devotion to God and His laws by building an altar and keeping the feasts
- The temple foundation is laid for the 2nd temple
- God warns the people not to despise the small start
- The old men weep (probably not tears of joy) after they see the foundation
- Discouragement often comes when you are doing God's will
