SUNDAY, 16 MARCH
TEXT: EZRA 7:1-10
TOPIC: YOUR STATUS DOES NOT MATTER IN GOD’S BUSINESS
It is intereşting to note that this passage traces Ezra’s genealogy of 16 ancestors back to Aaron, Moses’ brother.
Ezra is known as a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses. Perhaps this status added to his being able to get everything he asked from the king. Moreover, the hand of the Lord was upon him (vs. 6, 9).
Ezra occupied himself with three major preoccupations:
- devotion to studying God’s word;
- devotion to obeying God’s law; and
- teaching God’s word.
The achievements of any of your ancestors do not matter. What matters most is the relevance of God’s word to you now.
QUESTION
What lesson did you learn from today’s teaching about Ezra?
PRAYER
Father, teach me to focus on pleasing You without having to make references to the close relatives I knew, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
