The King Behind the King
Jeremiah 29:10-14
10 This is what the LORD says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”
Ezra 7:27
Praise the LORD, the God of our ancestors, who made the king want to beautify the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem!
Proverbs 21:1
The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; he guides it wherever he pleases.
Exodus 7:3
But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:36
36 The LORD caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!
Philippians 2:12b-13
12 Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Worship God as the ultimate authority and accountability over the desires of men.
Ezra 7: 28
And praise him for demonstrating such unfailing love to me by honoring me before the king, his council, and all his mighty nobles! I felt encouraged because the gracious hand of the LORD my God was on me. And I gathered some of the leaders of Israel to return with me to Jerusalem.
Worship God for his providential hand of faithfulness and favor through the circumstances of life.
