*A thought*:
The secret of Ezra's successful ministry is found in Ezra 7:10. He not only knew what he had to do, but he also did it. As someone has said, "It is of no benefit to know more, unless you first do something with what you know already".
*Week #38 Memory Verse*:
Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to
you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door
will be opened"
