Ezra is God's man of the hour. He is a priest and scribe that has readied himself for a specific work among God's people. Ezra's bold and convicted spirit is contagious. He is quick to accomplish God's desired will. Studying the book of Ezra will leave you convicted to be ready for the work of the Lord no matter how unpleasant it may be. The hope of heaven is far greater than any comfort or discomfort we may now experience.
