FROM GRASS TO GRACE
SCRIPTURE: And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. – Esther 2:17
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you are connected to God, your history is not as important as your destiny.
Esther was a young girl who was taken along with the rest of Israel and Judah into captivity during the Babylonian captivity. She was an orphan and a slave being brought up by her uncle, Mordecai.
One day, God lifted her and she became the Queen of the Persian Empire in place of Queen Vashti.
Now, what can we learn from the story of Esther?
1.There is no limit to the potential of a person who is connected to God.
Anyone who is connected to God has an unlimited potential. Anybody who has the life of God in them has limitless potential. There is no limit to what such a person can become in life.
2. God is a specialist in making something out of nothing.
If you think that you do not belong anywhere in life or people do not think you have anything serious because of your background; then the story of Esther is a vital lesson to you. God can turn anyone to anything on earth.
3.When you are connected to God, what is behind you is not as important as what is before you.
Where you are coming from is not as important as where you are going. When you are connected to God, your history is not as important as your destiny.
My counsel is that, keep moving until you reach where God wants you to reach. Do not let any devil stop you. Do not park beside failure, keep moving on.
Remember this: When you are connected to God, your history is not as important as your destiny.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Put God first in all your endeavours in life.
2. Maintain a right stand with God at all times.
PRAYER: O Lord, grant me the grace to continue to maintain a right stand with You. Help me to be steadfast despite temptations in Jesus’ Name.
