I almost skipped Ezra 2. It was just another list… or so I thought.

Ezra chapter 2 looks painfully familiar. Names. Numbers. Families counted line by line. It feels like déjà vu from other genealogies, so I almost moved on. Then I noticed verse 63. Some people couldn’t prove their ancestry. They weren’t rejected outright. They were told to wait—until God could confirm their place. This list isn’t about exclusion. It’s about belonging handled with care. God didn’t rush judgment. He made room for uncertainty. For anyone who’s ever wondered Do I really belong here? This forgotten chapter quietly says: wait. God hasn’t finished speaking yet. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Ezra #Belonging #Grace #ScriptureReading
