What do you when you have enemies actively confronting you or wanting you to fail? Someone who say, fight back. For the children of Israel, luckily, they had prophets telling them the mind of God and to take courage. When faced with a challenge, you either of one choice; become distracted and embroiled in irrelevances, or keep your focus on the price. The children of Israel chose wisely. Second lesson, who says you can't achieve the impossible? Just like Daniel who lived in the same period as himself, God gave Ezra favour with king Darius so that he had the backing of a king as he returns to Jerusalem. It doesn't matter where you are, God can use you to bring change and achieve the unexpected.
