The Book within a Book about the Book of Books: Ezra and the 119th Psalm

Many Christians are like poor photographs they are over exposed and under developed. Ezra wanted to study God's Word -- but also had an equal desire to practice God's Word.

To the Jews only Moses eclipses Ezra in Jewish history. Why? Because his life actually has touched every Jew and every Christian for the past 2500 years? How? Ezra launched the Jewish Synagogues, wrote the reading schedule Jews follow to this day. And it is Ezra who copied all the Scriptures into the Hebrew that we have today. The entire Old Testament is the product of his careful work!

Ezra faced a worldly congregation, soaked in all the worldly ways of Babylon and Persia. What was his plan to bring about lasting change in those he served? He started with his own life. He learned to point his heart frequently toward doing God's Will.

God created you and me for some great works for His Glory. He wants to do something in you -- that only you AND HE can accomplish.
