Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation...
Exodus 19:5-6 (ESV)
The Word of God reminds us constantly about the perfectness of His will and His good purposes for our lives. In the midst of life's challenges, we may struggle to make sense of the situation. In the Book of Esther, we see the hand of God, perfecting the reversal of events for His people, bringing salvation. Learning to surrender to God is a prerequisite in releasing and encountering His Kingdom power; to align our will with His in the midst of adversities, continually fixing our eyes on God. As we saw in the footsteps of Esther, her obedience and faith in Him, as well as her submission to receive counsel, she channeled God’s magnificent, miraculous workings in the midst of the oppressive circumstance for her people. He turned all evil schemes to good. What a faithful God we serve!
Loving Father, truly there is none like You. You have already given us the victory through Christ to overcome. Today, we choose to submit to You in all to see Your Kingdom come, Your will be done in all for You are the Perfect One. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
