Ezra 6:22 "And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel."
The Bible makes it very clear. In Proverbs 21:1 "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Imagine, a nation in captivity, a conquered people, not only being told to go back to their homeland and rebuild their temple, but being provided with everything they could possibly need to do so. What could possibly possess a king to do that for his captives?
The only answer is the power of God. When we are seeking God, desiring earnestly to do His will, He will make the way clear for us and give joy. Proverbs 10:22 "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."
Whatever obstacle appears to be in my way as I seek God's will, remember that He holds it in His hand.
