Courage


Courage

i just finished the beth moore bible study on esther. i had never read the story . i had heard bits and pieces but never had it touch my heart as it did these last 9 weeks. the book never speaks Gods name but he is ALL over it. he uses a young orphan jewish girl to save her people from death. she rises to the call with courage and faith and allows God to use her for his Glorious deliverance of his people. she was born "for such a time as this"esther4v14. as i got more into the study mordecai( the faithful man who raised her) begin to interest me. i had never known his part in the story. he too was a huge part in carrying out Gods plan. he stayed true to his calling and knew with great faithfulness God would use his beloved esther to save his people. he fasted, weeped and wailed on behalf of her and his people. sometimes i feel like mordecai , with such a burden to see my people set free! free from the bondage of sin that has been yoked on us since the fall in the garden of eden. JESUS was sent to us just for that . i like mordecai sit at the gate wailing!!

just a thought-

God does'nt need to punish people for sin. sin is it's own punishment,devouring you from the inside. it's not his purpose to punish it;it's HIS joy to cure it!!!
