Study, Do, Teach

For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.

Ezra 7:10 (ESV)

Ezra was a priest, scribe, and prophet. I appreciate how this verse describes his heart. He was diligent at studying Scripture. Awesome. But that was not enough. He did what God's Law said to do. Great! But even that was not enough. He taught others. Because of his faith in God, he diligently sought the heart of God as revealed in His Law. He sought to please God by obeying His Law and by teaching it to others. May God be glorified as I too study His Word, obey His Word, and teach it to others!
