”Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem”:-- Ezra 7:27 New King James version BibleTwo things Ezra blessed God for:1. For his commission. If any good appear in our hearts, or in the hearts of others, we must own that God put it there, and bless him; it is he that works in us, both to will and to do that which is good.2. For his encouragement: God has extended mercy to me. Ezra was a man of courage, yet he ascribed this not to his own heart, but to God's hand. If God give us his hand, we are bold and cheerful; if he withdraws it, we are weak as water. Whatever we are enabled to do for God and those around us, God must have all the glory.
For the Winslowkids at the Gachie West Baptist church, it was their day to worship and thank the Lord for all that He has done in their lives by doing what they could; Beautifying the house of the Lord.
Despite the dry climatic conditions, the Kids have agreed to water the plants twice a day to make sure the House the Lord is beautiful. And if it pleases the Lord, then may He forgive us of our sins and on behalf of the country and shower us with rain to end the longest drought that has been experienced in Kenya!
