For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach.
Ezra was dedicated! First he wanted to learn God’s Word. Then he wanted to put it into practice. Then he wanted to teach it to others. These three things require dedication. Perhaps there is one more preliminary step to Ezra’s dedication - he prepared his heart! Communion is of paramount importance. If there is anything in our hearts that would stop us from learning God’s Word, let’s get it out. Then follow Ezra’s dedication to LEARN, PRACTICE and TEACH. Be an Ezra!
