Ezra 7:28

and hath extended mercy unto me before the king and his counselors v. 14. and before all the king's mighty princes. Thus gratefully Ezra acknowledged the kindness and goodness of God. And I was strengthened as the hand of the Lord, my God, was upon me, for so he considered this fortunate turn of events, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me, heads of households and perhaps also of father-houses, with whom their entire division would probably emigrate. Christians will at all times recognize the guiding and blessing hand of God in the affairs of their lives and will gratefully and publicly praise Him for His goodness.
