THE LORD CAN PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR MIND
Do you realise that The Lord can put something in your mind and you may think that it just came to your mind as a result of human reosoning yet He is the Lord who wants you to do something at a particular time for His purpose
When The LORD put something into the mind of Cyrus king of Persia. He may not have known that He is the Lord who has put it in His mind. He may have thought that it may have been a consequence of His thoughts .
He did not know that the Lord had put something in His mind
The Lord put something in the mind of Cyrus king of persia to issue a proclamation through the entire region. He told Him to issue a proclamation and put this proclamation in writing Ezra 1:1-2
[1]NOW IN the first year of Cyrus king of Persia [almost seventy years after the first Jewish captives were taken to Babylon], that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might begin to be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and put it also in writing: [Jer. 29:10-14.][2]Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has charged me to build Him a house at Jerusalem in Judah.as to thus we should always mind about that which The Lord puts to our minds
