Ezra 1:1-2 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
Limitless. There is nothing our God cannot do. His power extends beyond our wildest imaginations. Cyrus, kind of Persia, Judah's captor, the man who held the nation in captivity, was used by God. Who would have seen that coming?
Imagine being a Hebrew, taken captive, carried away from your home. All hope seems lost, you're probably doubting God's love and His promises. Then of the sudden, Cyrus, king of Persia, was stirred to action by the Lord. God is limitless in His power to work in the life of man.
What ways have I seen God act in my life or the lives of others that defies human understanding? In what ways would I like to see God do that in my life or the lives of others right now? Do I sincerely, truly believe that He can and will?
