Everything was going well in Ezra's life. The gracious hand of the Lord was on him, and he was following what God called him to do.
But then.
Those two little words changed everything. Ezra's life was turned upside down. Then he was met with these powerful words in Ezra 10:4, "Rise up, Take courage ... and do it."
As you dive into the life of Ezra, you will be encouraged to rise up! You are not held back by your past mistakes or present hurts. Not pressed down by your current heartbreak or a stagnant life. Make confidence your stance. Take courage! Chase your dreams and do your best to stay authentic, courageous, risky, and real. Fiercely overcome obstacles and disappointed dreams with your head held high. Choose to live in faith, not fear. Go do it! Embrace your calling. God chose and created you. He infused you with strength. You’re empowered to be who you are created to be.
Rise Up. Take Courage. Go Do It.
