Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people for he was standing above all the people, and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Nehemiah 8:5
This audience for Ezra's teaching was hungry to hear the word of God. Recently released from bondage, they knew they needed wisdom and instruction from God to go forward. They expressed their reverence and respect for God's Word, and stood up when the book was opened. What does hungering and thirsting for righteousness mean to us? What do others see in us? Let's honor and reverence God's Word and begin to let it feed our spirits
