Esra 10:4

How do you study the Bible? How do you apply the Word of God to your life? How do you inspire others to do the same? Over the next four days, we will take a look at Ezra the scribe whose dedication to study, obey, and teach the Revelation of God ignited revival in Jerusalem.

It is tempting to run from our choices. To feel as though the circumstances are so stacked against us that we cannot choose our way out. God calls us to participate in His Kingdom. Our choices are powerful and they matter in the Kingdom of God. Through this plan we will be encouraged to choose a truer perspective, make wiser choices, and persevere through sufferings.
