GOD SPEAKS TO A GENTILE
1 Esdras 2:2 (Ezra)
“Thus says Cyrus the king of the Persians: Israel's Lord, the Lord Most High, revealed and indicated to me, the king of the inhabited world, that I should build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judea.”
Encouraging Words
It is easy to get the mindset that we, the Christians in our modern-day, are God's elite and that He only speaks to us. Then as we hold onto this belief it grows and we begin to believe that He only speaks to our like-minded group, church, or denomination. This is not so, God chooses whom He wants to speak to and guide to do His will. In this scripture, He spoke to Cyrus, a Gentile and the king of Persia, and Cyrus heard His voice. Cyrus listened to the God of the Jews, rebuilt their temple, and set them free. We must stop acting like we are God and that we know whom He will speak to or not and let Him work the way that He chooses. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
