Ezra 7 | Ezra’s Example, A Heart Set on God’s Word | December 1, 2025

In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we turn to Ezra 7, where Ezra finally steps into the narrative as a priest, scribe, and reformer whom God raises up to lead His people by the authority of His Word. Nearly sixty years have passed since the completion of the temple, and now God brings forward a servant whose heart is set on Scripture. Ezra models a pattern every Christian needs: Study the Word, obey the Word, and teach the Word. His life shows us how spiritual renewal begins with a heart devoted to God's truth and strengthened by His sovereign hand. Key Themes: • Ezra's godly example and devotion to Scripture • God's providential work through pagan kings • The meaning of "the good hand of God" on His servants • How Ezra points us to Christ, our true High Priest and perfect Teacher Passage: Ezra 7:1–28 Host: Dave Jenkins Whether you are seeking daily encouragement from God's Word or desire to grow in biblical discernment, this study of Ezra 7 will strengthen your faith and help you walk in obedience to the Lord.
