The Old Testament book of Ezra proclaims the importance of right worship and the need to endure patiently in the face of difficulty. Nehemiah continues the story with an inspiring account of returning to faithfulness and doing God's work, no matter what. By studying Ezra and Nehemiah, we have a true testimony to how God sovereignly works through people to accomplish His redemptive purposes.
