Ezra 7: Some Things About Ezra

It is possible, good, and pleasant for us to do the work of God and have the good hand of God upon us (v. 9). Our part includes the deliberate choice to be the kind of people that Ezra was. Verse 10 gives these points: He prepared his heart (Matthew 22:34-40) —to seek the law of the LORD (Acts 17:11) —and to do it (Acts 10:34-36) —and to teach in Israel (2 Timothy 2:2) Let the things that were true of Ezra be true of me, O Lord.
