#soap # Ezra 07 ## Title: Study, Obey, Show the Way ## Scripture: (Ezra 7:10) “Now Ezra had dedicated himself to the study of the law of the Lord, to its observance, and to teaching its statutes and judgments in Israel.” (NET) ## Observation: This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. It has become a life verse. Ezra had decided to fill his entire life’s purpose with the things of God. He desired to know God, obey God, then share what he had found with others. No matter what your vocation in life, this is still the pursuit of a disciple of Christ. We are first to know Him through studying His Word. God’s Word was given to us so He could reveal Himself to us. Once we do this, we live according to His Word so we can find true life. Then, we have the honor of sharing what we have found with others. ## Application: Seek to know God through His Word. Seek to obey God’s Word. Look for opportunities to share God’s Word. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being worth sharing.
