We studied it at Ladies Bible Study in AZ- yep, it's a good one...I love the verse in Chapter 2 (vs. 17 or 18 or somewhere around there) "Let us arise and build, so they put their hands to the good work." Def. a verse that has been a theme for this season of life and time at camp. Something about that verse resonates deep within my soul- it speaks to "Esther".:) What is sticking out for you?!
I have been struck by the repeated emphasis on Israel's tormentors, doubt-throwers and hope-stealers as they set to work to rebuild the city. Also, I am awed by the love of the word. They listened to it be read aloud for HOURS. I want to try this sometime :) And, I love Ezra's steadfast heart, his transparent brokenness and his fearlessness regarding others' opinions.
