God's heart for us as His people is revealed through the King of Persia in Ezra 7:11-28 as God moves this king to show great favor. God's sovereign will and purpose inspires a king, who releases a mission, which enables a leader to mobilize a people. May we too learn to think like favored ambassadors and favored sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father! As we imitate our Father we too become releasers of great blessing, provision, direction, justice, courage, and strength.
