I have been reading in Ezra where the Israelites were told by a decree from King Darius that they could not continue rebuilding their temple.

And they had prophets speak to them and decide to go ahead and do it anyway. There they went, back to rebuilding, knowing it was going against any earthly "sense," knowing it was breaking the rules, and they went back to rebuilding.

I love the boldness and courage! There are plenty of things out there that don't make sense to us on the earthly scale.
But if we stand on the rock, on the firm foundation and hold fast to the promise that He will take care of us, that He will never leave us nor forsake us...we will be okay.
And we don't need to seek applause from anyone out there, hopefully we are covered with prayer and not ignored or shrugged off b/c it simply doesn't make sense.
