Ezra 5:11 BOLD>>>>>>While rebuilding the Temple, the workers were confronted by the Persia-appointed governor demanding to know who gave permission for their construction project (5:3). This could have been intimidating, but, as we learn from the letter, they boldly replied, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth. It is not always easy to speak up for our faith in an unbelieving world, but we must. The way to deal with pressure and intimidation is to recognize that we are workers for God. Our allegiance is to Him first, people second. When we contemplate the reactions and criticisms of hostile people, we can become paralyzed with fear. If we make a policy of offending no one or pleasing everyone, our effectiveness will be stopped. Jesus is our leader, and His rewards are most important. So dont be intimidated. Let others know by your actions and words whom you serve first.
