Prepared for God's Purpose 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Bible Reading: Ezra 7–10, 1 Corinthians 3 Bible Verse: “Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.” – Ezra 7:10 💬 Quote: “Before God uses us publicly, He often prepares us privately.” ✨ Reflection: Ezra did not suddenly become a teacher and leader. He first devoted himself to God's Word, obeyed it, and then taught it to others. This is a beautiful pattern for every believer. We cannot effectively share what we refuse to learn or practice. God prepares our hearts before He expands our influence. 💡 Takeaway: Study God's Word, live God's Word, then share God's Word. 🙏 Prayer: Lord, give me a heart that loves Your Word. Help me not only to hear it but to obey it and reflect it in my daily life. 🏷️ Hashtags: #Ezra7v10, #Ezra9v8, #1Corinthians3v9, #PreparedByGod, #GodsWord, #SpiritualGrowth, #DailyDevotional, #ChurchFamilyDevotionals
