The One Year Bible - Day 221

Ezra bless him, he is worried about the dangers ahead of them when they travelled, but quite rightly, he didn't want to ask the king for protection since he believed in a God who was mighty and powerful. It is these sorts of situations that actually test our theology though. We can easily say that God is able to do everything but we often to struggle to know whether He will do any of these things. When it actually comes to it, do we put our faith in men or in God? Would we have asked the king for protection since "God has given us common sense"? Or trusted the King who made the heavens and the earth?
