Esther 2 - Gods favour

Hello my lovely ladies!

I know the readings eash day are short but there is so much in this book and coz its so short i needed to really break it down.

1. God has a perfect plan for us (Jeremiah 29v11)
God had big plans for esther, she was to be queen and save all her people, big plan yeah? but esther was but a simple girl and even more a jew in a persian counrty. She wouldnt have thought for one moment when she was taken form her family that there was any way she would become queen!
We need to think big! Gods plan for us is bigger than we can imagine, He has it right there for the taking, all we have to do is stay inline with Him and be obedient

2. Gods blessing comes when we are obedient!
Esther obeyed her uncle (who she lived with) by not telling them she was a Jew, but also the picture that is painted of esther is that she was a very obedient child and did what her uncle told her, she could have gone home to Jerusalem whenever she wanted but choose to stay with her uncle.
When esther went into the palace she found favour with one of the Unics that were in charge of taking care of all the ladies, she was given many extra priviledges by him. When Esther went before the King she immediatly had favour in his sight and he picked her, above everyone else even though he may not have seen all the other girls. It was because Esther obeyed and stayed faithd\ful not only to her uncle but to her God (she would have prayed a lot) that she had favour. God places people above us teachers parents leader etc, and they are all there by His appointment. (cant remember the verse) We need to obey what our leader say, we may not always like what they have to say but they are put there by God so we need to obey. classic example is with our parents, (..obey your parents because for this is right. honour  your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promice, that it may go well with you and that you will enjoy a long and happy life) sometimes we dont agree witjh our parents and our parents may not be christian but God wants us to obey and honour them, (obedience is better than sarifice 1 samuel 55v22)

So go, Obey your authoritys, and really push into God, talk to him, do some further study..Being close to God is so awesome. You will see blessing when you begin to Obey..

Much Love!!!
