Victory over the Enemy

Ezra 6 records the reversal of Tatnai's attempt to stop the work of God from going ahead. It is a wonderful testament to the power of God to give victory over the attacks of the enemy when God's people remain faithful at their post in the midst of the battle and keep on working for Him. Have a no retreat mindset as a believer! It also brings us to the end of the first major division of the Book with the completion of the temple.

The chapter also reminds us that God alone is the source of true victory. We are no match for the enemy with our own strength and resources but the power and Providential workings of God are more than enough to meet the challenge.
