Out Of

Artaxerxes, whose heart was turned by God toward Ezra and the people of Israel, was a Persian king with great riches.  In his decree to help the people of Israel, he generously gives whatever Ezra needs to fund the trip to Jerusalem.

When God moves a man's heart, He moves it "whole-heartedly"!  Verse twenty states, "And whatever
else is required for the house of your God, which it falls to you to provide, you may provide it out of the king's treasury."  The footnote in the Reformation Study Bible says, "The amounts involved are enormous but the Persian Empire is very wealthy."

Wow!!  So God moved the heart of this very wealthy king who provided for Ezra's trip "out of" his treasures.   I'm sure Ezra was wowed by King Artaxerxes riches supplied to him for the work of God!  How much more should we be wowed by the  supplies of the Creator of the Universe.  Ephesians 3:16 says, "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being."

God is building His temple through us.  "For we are the temple the living God." (2 Corinthians 6:16)
And "out of" His glorious riches He is giving us unlimited strength with His power to do what it takes to make our "temples" complete.  I would say wow to that for I am wowing this same God Who has been doing this throughout history and continues to do that today and forever.
