Ezra 4: If You Are Going to Write a Letter, Make It a Good One

But the results of chapter 3 also included the fact that Israel’s enemies heard of their successes. So they mounted a strong opposition to the work of God’s people. They chose to write to the king about it. Their letter, although full of lies, was so well written that they got their way. The work was stopped. We need to realize that those who are against us are going to work hard to get their way. We must not let our guard down.
