Wow, what was it about Old Testament Ezra? The authorities granted Ezra’s every request, ‟for the hand of the Lord his God was upon him” (Ezra 7:6). Ezra ‟set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach [God’s] statutes and rules” (verses 9-10).
My prayer is that God’s people - especially Christian leaders - will pursue and spread the statutes and principles outlined in the Bible with the passion of Ezra. I pray God’s people will be given the grace to trust that the ‟good hand of God” will be on them. As Jesus said:

‟. . . do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’
or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ . . .
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you.” - Matthew 6:31, 33
