How to Be Equipped to Partner with the Lord to Build Others Up from His Word with Lasting Impact
Tuesdays at 7-9pm in Old Union 301Isaiah
50:4-5
The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple [= learner].
5 The Lord God has opened My ear;
And I was not disobedient to the instruction of His written word,
Nor did I turn back from my calling to encourage and teach others from what I have learned.
Ezra 7:10
For Ezra had set his heart to study the law (written word) of the LORD,
and to do it, i.e. live his/my life accordingly
and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel i.e., among His people
statutes = how to rule (manage the affairs of life successfully)
ordinances = how to relate to people fruitfully and help others to do likewise
