Ezra was a good example for us in studying God’s Word. In
order to teach God’s laws to others, he had to study and practice it, which
probably included writing or recording some of his own thoughts. Practice what
you want to teach! That is what Ezra did.
Read scripture every day—a verse, passage or chapter until
God tells you something, gives you something to think about. Keep a journal or
notebook and record what you’ve read
and what God has told you or impressed upon you about that scripture passage.
Record your prayers there too and you’ll be able to see how God has answered
them. Just a simple thing like writing down a few words—Record. I am amazed to see how God is using scripture to reach and teach me about even simple things like compassion and quiet strength--see Colossians 3:12.
Dear Jesus—How we love
to study Your Word—to feed upon it! Inspire us today. Help us to understand the
passage that we’ve read and to apply it to our lives that we would be better equipped
to tell others about You.
