This morning (i couldn't sleep past 3:30 AGAIN!) i had a great time reading the book of Esther. I could really sense God's presence as i was reading this awesome book.
Here are some things that spoke to me this morning:
Pride
I could see parts of myself in Haman. All of his actions came from a heart full of pride. To the point that he ordered an entire race of people in his land murdered. All because Mordecai wouldn't bow to him. At times their have been instances in my life where i felt like i wasn't "treated" right. After all, i have PASTOR in front of my name!!! It's so easy for this to creep in when left unchecked.
Patience
I just love the fact that Mordecai displayed patience and allowed God to work His plan. So many times i try to figure things out and get ahead of what God wants to do. I am learning to take my time and watch what God is doing and then follow Him. It always works out better that way!!!!
Purpose
Imagine what Esther was feeling when she began to realize that God had set the stage for deliverance and she was a main player!!! You know, i believe that it's Gods desire that we live everyday with that same sense of Destiny over our lives. The truth is, we are someone's deliverance. We are the answer to someones problem. Someone in your life needs the gift that is in you. Think about it........who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this!
