Like the work of rebuilding the Temple, every good work for the Lord will be opposed by Satan and his hosts.
Laying the foundation for the rebuilt Temple led to an all-out celebration to God for His goodness.
After God stirred the hearts of his people to renew their worship in Jerusalem, the people rebuilt the broken altar.
What happens when God provides people for his work and pours out a spirit of generosity?
When God brings renewal he provides both a stirring and a softening of the heart.
When God brought his people back to their homeland he stirred the heart of a king.
