Our study this week will be in the book of Ezra. Before we begin meditating on a few specific verses, read Ezra 7 - 10. Read it first for the story. It is a remarkable story. Ezra's life had been in Babylon as part of a conquered people, people in exile and captivity. That is what he knew. But he also knew the Word of God. Your reading will describe him as "skilled in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given..." You will find this man to be trustworthy and prayerful. You will find him acquainted with self-denial. He was a man of faith who honored God's Word.
After you get a sense of the events and circumstances, then move into meditation over these few verses. Remember, we are looking for open eyes to see God and for open ears to hear a word from Him for our lives right now.
Day 1: Ezra 7:6; 9: 1 - 3
Day 2: Ezra 9: 4 - 7
Day 3: Ezra 9: 8 - 10
Day 4: Ezra 9: 13, 15; 10:1
May God bless your study of His word this week.
