An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
June 20
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYFor Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. (Ezra 7:10)
Ezra’s three-fold resolution in life would be good for us to adopt: (1) seek the law of the Lord, (2) do it, and (3) teach it. First he sought God’s law. We should read and study our Bibles every day. Afterwards we ought to spend the rest of the day meditating on what we have read. Ezra’s second step was to obey God’s word. Just learning what the Lord wants us to do is not enough. We must put it into practice in our own lives. Only then may we be qualified, as Ezra, to teach God’s word to others. Adopt these resolutions for your own, but keep them in the same order: seek, do, and then teach. ~
