Nothing is out of possibility with God

It's May Day! We begin the book of Ezra. Ch 1-3 discuss the people of Judah returning from exile in Babylon to the ruins of Jerusalem. When the people returned and saw the temple, they wept. Can you imagine coming home from vacation to find your house in ruins? God is truly amazing though, as He used a pagan king (Cyrus of Persia) to not only free the exiled captives, but send them on their way with supplies and rites of passage. Why you ask? It is God's will. God does not abandon His people. Notice in ch2, v21, this listing of people might become quite important down the line.
