SCRIPTURE
Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building (Ezra 4:4).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
When the people of God set out to rebuild the temple in the book of Ezra they encountered a continual onslaught of harassments. The Bible says those who were in disagreement with their efforts “troubled them in building.” In other words, they created little problems here and there to try and make them feel frustrated. In a similar way we can experience little troubles, often created by the enemy that can make us feel like we are always addressing some little problem. God wants you to enjoy days of peace and order, not putting out fires, constantly fixing something, and running around in panic and stress. Speak to any harassing spirits that might try and discourage you and make you feel like you are always stressed out. Declare that troubling spirits cannot interfere in your day!
