2 Chronicles 36: Verse of the Day

"'Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, "The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up!"'" (2 Chr 36:23).

The Lord gave the land its Sabbath rest (70 years) while Judah was in Babylonian captivity. But the Lord was faithful to His promises and even used foreign nations to fulfill them.
