Ezra 5:1-17 Resuming ministry in the face of threatening opposition requires wisdom from God's Word and confidence in the importance and legitimacy of the mission.

Disappointment is Satan's powerful tool. God's people were excited about their mission to return from exile and rebuild God's house.

However, after repeated resistance and defeat, it has been redirected to less important priorities (such as home renovation projects) for the past 16 years.

Discouragement and acceptance of the status quo had set in. The prophets powerfully delivered God’s Word of exhortation to motivate the people to restart the temple building project and to persevere and remain on task despite further opposition.

Their conviction regarding the significance and legitimacy of their mission helped them in their interactions with the government officials that were raising critical questions.
