There are two precious Ezras in my life.
One, the Ezra in the Old Testament (OT), direct descendant of Aaron, who served as a priest, scribe, and reformer tasked by God with leading a remnant of Jewish exiles back to Jerusalem. He is called the "second Moses" for reviving the study and application of the first five books of the Bible (Torah) among the returned exiles—to rebuild the spiritual lives of the people.
He led sinful people into repentance and his mission succeeded because he totally relied on God’s sovereignty. The Book of Ezra strongly reminds us of God's faithfulness in fulfilling promises despite the cruel landscape of the times.
Two, the Ezra in our church. Only 6 years old, she is pitch perfect, can sing gospel songs (even long ones) from memory. Singing at the altar, she leaves my eyes moist, contemplating the lyrics and seeing how she has been gifted with an extraordinary talent to proclaim His word.
Affectionate, little Ezra never misses to hug me when we see each other in church, “Lola Grace!”
Then one Sunday, she gave me gifts: a unique desk calendar and a card that made me catch my throat. I know she meant them to be personal, but I am taking the liberty of sharing the card with blog friends to collectively nudge us that God uses both the learned and the innocent to shower His grace.
