Ezra 2

  Sheshbazzar leads the exiled back to Jerusalem and their other home towns from captivity.  The whole list is in Ezra 2 but there were 42,360 people as a “total count for the congregation”.  Sometimes I forget the magnitude of what happens in scripture.  This exile was not just a small deal.  For us, it is like taking a small city and just wiping it clean.  As they come back, this stands out to me.  “All the Israelites found a place to live”.  They have been removed from their homes, gone for a while and yet when they return God provides.  He is so very faithful.  He is so very good.
