Esther

Today's devotion is written by Mary Davis, a woman in my church.  Mary is a woman who listens for and hears the voice of God.

“After He has gathered His own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know His voice.” John 10:4


Did you ever dream of being a beautiful princess rescued by a handsome prince? What about becoming the bride of a king? I’m sure as a child most of us have.

Esther was born and raised for this very reason. The main factor in the outcome was her willingness to be expendable for kingdom purposes.

What was Esther’s primary objective? Nothing short of doing the right thing for her people and God…that was the primary objective in her life. Her purpose placed her in a position where she would be used of God in a rare capacity.

God often places dedicated women in strategic locations to further His redemptive plan. But like Esther we must be sensitive and open to His voice. When the picture came together, Esther’s response in a great time of need is what spared God’s people the evil determined against them.

What about you? Are you in a strategic position for such a time as this?

Heavenly Father, we are truly your princesses. We are the bride of Christ awaiting the wedding supper. But until that time comes, touch our hearts and help us to see that nothing short of doing the right thing for you and Your people, and doing it at the right time is what You require from each of us, individually and corporately. From this time forward, help us to determine to make this our ultimate goal. Thank You Father, Amen.




Blessings,
