Ezra 6:22, "The Lord has caused them to rejoice ..."
The rebuilding of the house of God has began after years of exile and destruction of the nation. But it did meet some harsh opposition. And soon for a time the work of rebuilding it--which for them mean that God himself was at work--had to stop. They would have felt so discouraged at that time. That's what you feel when you have a goal and somehow life puts a lot of obstacles between it and you so that you struggle to reach it. But it is God who makes beautiful in His time, His time table. "Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5). The Lord never forgets his promises. He will cause us to rejoice once again. The work of the house of Lord maybe stopped, but the Lord does not stop working. Soon the hammers and saws will be lifted up for its purpose. Have faith, trust, in the One who visits the promises of old. He does not fail. The Lord will cause you to rejoice once more.
