Ezra7:10 10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and TO DO IT, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
Yesterday, we started with the first resolution Ezra the scribe made. He prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, but that in itself wasn't enough. After seeking the law of the Lord, he also decided to do it.
In life, you get credit for what you do not what you know. Knowledge of God's word has no reward when it is not put to use. Some believers have several translations of the bible, great commentaries, concordances, loaded libraries but a life that is not lived in accordance to God's word. Sometimes, we know too much but we do less.
James 1:22 says ' But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (23) For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (24) For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. (25) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Father, I receive grace to be a doer of your word in Jesus name. Amen
