Start Right Here Devo by Mark Hall With Tim Luke and Casting Crowns

Beginning with the reign of Solomon and the construction of the temple, 2 Chronicles opens to a period of wealth and prosperity in Israel's history. This period was short-lived, however, as sin and idolatry plagued God's people. Even as the temple is destroyed and Israel exiled, the book ends with an exiled people returning home and a ruined temple being rebuilt. Through it all, God's plans and purposes remain unabated.

The Temple: A Study in 2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles is clearly more focused on the history of Judah than with the northern kingdom of Israel. The author covers Solomon’s enthronement, the temple construction and the gradual demise of Judah. The book, however, ends with the Lord's desire to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Amidst the setbacks faced by post-exilic Jews, the author aimed to invigorate the people to rebuild the temple and resettle in the Holy Land.

Do you feel like you are in a season of loss and ruin? After decades of captivity, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem, only to find the city in ruins. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah detail God's faithfulness to his people as they rebuilt their homeland and offer encouragement to you when you need to rebuild too.

Faithful Among the Ruins

The book of Ezra covers the Jewish history following the Babylonian exile. Chapters 1-6 recount how Zerubbabel led the Jews to return and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem in 538 BC. Chapters 7-10 narrate how Ezra led another group to return and restore the practices of Torah as a community in 458 BC. This book gives encouragement to anyone who returns from captivity of sins to freedom in God’s house.
