ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD

EZRA 5
in the authority of the God of Israel who ruled them

5 But God had his eye on


EZRA 6

God had plunged them into a sea of joy; he had changed the mind of the king of Assyria to back them in rebuilding The Temple of God, the God of Israel.
GOD, PLEASE PLUNGE ME INTO A SEA OF JOY

Psalm 138
A David Psalm 1-3 Thank you! Everything in me says "Thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks.

I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: "Thank you!" Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.

And here's why: God, high above, sees far below; no matter the distance, he knows everything about us.


Finish what you started in me, God. Your love is eternal—don't quit on me now.

LUKE 16
You can't serve both God and the Bank.
