It is recorded in the book of Nehemiah that, ‘day by day, from the first day until the last day, he [Ezra] read in the book of the law of God’, Neh. 8. 18. This interest in and study of the word of God was the basis of the people’s gladness, blessing, and revival. This book seeks to encourage that same ‘day by day’ reading of the word of God that characterised the children of God in Nehemiah's day. God has given so much, and, in His purpose, will yet give us more. All of these promises are assured, if we will but avail ourselves of them. Those who read this book will be encouraged in the things of God and in their remembrance and worship of Him to whom we owe everything.
