Pray for our nation
Take a Risk
Esther’s
exquisite beauty and character distinguished her in the eyes of Ahasuerus, the
king of Persia, who chose her as his queen. Yet it was Esther’s courage that
was most notable in the life of this Jewish woman.
Then I will go to the king, though it is
against the law, and if I perish, I perish.
Esther 4:16
|
When
Esther learned that the chief court favorite, Haman, planned to massacre the
Jews, she asked her people to fast and pray for three days. Then Esther risked
her life by preparing a surprise visit to the king to tell him of Haman’s
plans. On the day the Jews were to be slaughtered, Haman was instead executed
and Esther’s position as queen was strengthened. It was evident that the Lord
was the source of her security.
God has not placed you in your present position for your own benefit. He put you there to serve Him. At times this might require great courage and involve risk. Yet the Lord is always with you and He is faithfully at work. So decide to do what your Heavenly Father wants and trust Him for the outcome. Pray also that America’s leaders will put their security in Jesus Christ instead of possessions, position or reputation.
