There is a phrase that people sometimes use to indicate that they intend to do something, as long as no unforeseen events occur. That phrase is "The Lord willing, and the creek doesn't rise". For some things in life that might be the right approach, but does that phrase seed in our minds the thought that if something is difficult, that it might not be God's will. In this message we will look at the events recorded in the book of Ezra and learn that God's will calls us to the difficult.
