“...and if I perish, I perish.” Esther was all in! David asked God in Psalm 86:11 to give him an undivided heart. Esther and David were on the same page. May we join them! 

Kate’s take away was spot on:

• God works in ordinary events.
• Step us with courage when your moment comes.
• Trust God’s sovereignty-Lean into to HIM.
• God never abandons His people.
• Meet oppression and uncertainty without worry.
• We will reap what we sow.

Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not mention God in the text, yet His presence is woven throughout the story. Mordecai guided Esther during a challenging time in history as waves of Israelites were returning to Jerusalem, these people chose to remain in Persia. Meanwhile, the evil Haman devised his dastardly plan to annihilate all Jews. What a rich reminder that God does NOT leave His people to their own devices. He guides, He enlightens, He protects, He draws us closer. Won’t you join us as we dive into God’s Word! Let’s connect to reflect! Blessings dear listeners!
