—Ezra 7:1-10, 23-26
by: Andrea Pozo.
Ezra was a scribe, “skilled the Law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given” (v.6). Even though we have come to know the Law as the “the Law of Moses,” it is important to remember that it was not Moses who came up with the Law—it was given to Him by the Lord. The Lord Himself went with Ezra to complete this very intimidating task—speaking to the king about rebuilding. Even though Ezra´s mission seemed humanly impossible, the Lord was with him because “Ezra had firmly resolved to study the Law of the Lord and to practice it” (v.12). No matter how intimidating or overwhelming our task may seem, if God is the One who sent us and the One who is coming with us, we have nothing to fear.
