Ezra 7, 8

God gifted Ezra in areas of teaching and details ( he is credited with writing the books of 1 and 2 Chronicles ) so that the Jewish laws and traditions could be renewed after the exile period of their punishment. Whereas Nehemiah was concerned with rebuilding the city of Jerusalem, Ezra’s passion was for the temple and God’s laws.

Was it just chance that these men were instrumental in their specific function, or was it God’s design and purpose for their lives? Most assuredly, God equipped them to do what they did.

What makes you tick? As you read His Word daily and observe what needs to be done to further His Kingdom, proceed with the confidence that His gifts resident in your life are USEFUL. Be a doer of the Word. Faith and purpose will come more clearly into focus.
