DAY 4 OF 5

God’s Hand is On You

Ezra 7:6

The king had granted him everything he asked, for the hand of the Lord his God was on him.

Ezra was a priest and a teacher who had studied the Scriptures very closely. He was considered as a respectable man by King Artaxerxes who sent him a letter. In the letter he was telling Ezra to be in charge of the supply for the temple of God. He was entrusted to doing whatever seemed best with the gold and silver. Wow, what a privilege! 

Ezra acquired some wonderful privileges in his life and he knew that it all happened because God’s hand was upon him. It was God’s power that was at work in and around Ezra that brought him success.

The hand of God usually represents favour and grace. It meant Ezra was covered in the favour and grace of God, and God ensured everything Ezra needed would be taken care of. That was the key to Ezra’s success. 

The key to Ezra's success can be yours too. The way to get the most out of your life is to have God’s hand upon you. When the hand of God is upon you, you will fulfill His purposes in your life and you will be able to follow His lead. 

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for Your words. Because the hand of the Lord my God is on me, I have faith that I walk with Your love, mercy and protection each day. Thank You that Your gracious hand is on me. Amen.
