“EZRA WENT UP FROM BABYLON;
AND HE WAS A READY SCRIBE IN THE LAW OF MOSES,WHICH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL HAD GIVEN:
AND THE KING GRANTED HIM ALL HIS REQUEST,ACCORDING TO THE HAND OF THE LORD HIS GOD UPON HIM”.
E z r a 7 :6
Ezra was a scribe who was taken to Babylon as an exile.He was a willing and able scribe to write down the law given to Israel through Moses.His tongue was a ready pen in the hand of a writer That is his speech and Writting were anointed.. when God wanted to communicate a message,He chose to write it on the wall or tablet
Exodus 31:18
Daniel 5:5–12
Ezra Sought To Grow In Stature And Wisdom With God.God Will Guide Such People And Bless Them. And Cause Multiply Their Influence.
Ezra and Nehemiah were contemporaries and were influential Jews.They had a burning desire to return to Jerusalem to rebuild its ruins.They were successful in obtaining permission and resources to rebuild Jerusalem.
Ezra7:10 says Ezra prepared his heart and prepared the hearts of the people for giving praise and thanksgiving in public. When He read the word.people began to mourn of repentence.Ezra comforted them and asked them to rejoice. Whatever be our sorrow when we read,memorize and meditate on the word , we will be caused to rejoice.
Believe And Claiming A Promise Is Also Obedience Or Application.
Like Ezra we have to study the word and explain it to our co-workers and friends whenever we get an opportunity. If you are faithful in this small responsibility God will enlarge our vision and our influence.
Psalms 115:14″The Lord shall increase you more and more……”
Scripture needs to be studied every day,interpret everyday, taught and practice it everyday.One cannot be a reader of Bible without being a practitioner.We must lead people to the land of promises(promises in Bible).
Daniel 12:3 says”And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever”.
The more we study, Meditate , memorise and practice it,then we are blessed and we make it a practice in our lives. When we transfer the written word to our hearts, we are more blessed and enjoy perfect peace. Writing converts thoughts into visible words.writing makes the invisible visible.
WHEN WE WRITE FOR GOD WE BECOME A READY PEN IN HIS HAND.
Heavenly Father help us to become a ready pen in your hand.Enlarge our vision and multiply our influence.In Jesus name I ask. Amen
