May 22 "Devoted to the Word" Ezra 4-7

Talk about opposition!
Someone really didn't want this house of God built.
And they connived and manipulated and cheated as they stood in the way.

And there were men who stood tall.
Ezra was one.
Devoting himself to the study of the Word.
Devoting himself to the observance of the Word.
And devoting himself to teaching the Word.
Ezra 7:10

King Artaxerxes noticed this man out of many.
And Ezra took notice of the king:
"Praise be to the Lord who has put it into the King's heart
to bring honor to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.
And the king extended good favor to Ezra.

"Because the hand of the Lord, my God, was on me.
I took courage."  Ezra 7:28

DEAR GOD:  PLEASE CHANGE ME IN MY 10,000 MOMENTS and may I find this kind of courage.  Courage that starts in being pressed to the pages of your Word to study, to observe, and to teach.  Oh God!
