A Ready Scribe - Paul M. Williams

Ezra 7:1-10 Ezra was a man of great influence in his day and one who possessed great knowledge of the Word of God.  Talk about knowledge? Look no further than the man Ezra, he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses!  Talk about pedigree and class?  Look no further than the man Ezra, he was a priest of the sons of Aaron!  Talk about honour and esteem?  The glories of the scribe in his day eclipsed those of the priest!  Yet…there was one distinguishing factor that singled this scribe out from among all the other scribes of his day.  Not only was Ezra a ready scribe who prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord so as to teach in Israel its statutes and judgments.  Ezra set his heart to do it!!!
