What Does Ezra 7:20 Mean?
The king's generosity stretches further still. Whatever additional needs may arise for the house of God, Ezra is permitted to supply them from the royal treasury itself. The empire's wealth is opened for the worship of the LORD.
An earthly king places his treasure house at the service of God's house. The provision is not grudging but abundant, reaching even to future needs not yet known. God is able to supply His work from sources far beyond what His people could gather on their own. When the LORD ordains a task, He also opens unexpected storehouses to meet it. No good work He calls for will lack the provision He intends to give it.
