Ezra is a small character in a long story, but this verse about him is a quiet masterclass: 'Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.'
Notice the order. Study. Do. Teach. Not study and then teach. Not teach what you haven't done. Each step earns the next.
It's tempting to skip the middle step — to learn a truth and immediately want to share it. Ezra didn't. He let it work on him first.
If you want to influence other people in matters of faith, that's the path. Read it. Live it. Then talk about it. In that order.
