May 25, 2024 | God's Daily Reflection: Esther 9:29-32
Note: Although the details of the setting are entirely plausible and the story may even have some basis in actual events, there is general agreement among scholars that the book of Esther is a work of fiction and in discernment with God, He has confirmed this too.
I will keep today's Reflection, because it's the overall message I am trying to convey, which is powerful.

Among Jews, women were expected to be quiet, to serve in the home, and to stay on the fringe of religious and political life. But Esther was a Jewish woman who broke through the cultural norms, stepping outside of her expected role to risk her life to help God's people.
Whatever your place in life, God can use you. Be open, available, and ready because God may use you to do what others are afraid to even consider.
29 Then Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter about Purim.
30 He sent letters to all the Jews, to the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, namely, words of peace and truth,
31 to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and just as they had established for themselves and for their [a]descendants, with [b]instructions for their times of fasting and their mourning.
32 The command of Esther established these [c]customs for Purim, and it was written in the book.
On Day 3 of my 40 Days and 40 Nights of Fasting - I start my morning with this verse and words of encouragement that I place on my refrigerator as a daily reminder:
Today is the happy result of so much hoping, working, dreaming, and believing. It's wonderful to see God's faithfulness through it all. I'm praising Him and celebrating you today!
This is a special day for the Lord, and He will make you happy and strong. - Nehemiah 8:10 CEV
There is no one who is insignificant in the purpose of God. - Alistair Begg
The meaning of today's God's Daily Reflection means everything as there are days where I am just focused on writing, not designing websites or handling anyone's marketing, but just focused on discerning thoughts with God, praying to Him, staying obedient and writing blog after blog. I stay focused on serving Him and grateful for what I do have, even a few months after memories of experiences that I wish I hadn't, but did, knowing that I was allowing God to use me to serve Him and His Kingdom.
I may not understand now, my friends and family certainly don't understand, but HE UNDERSTANDS and that is what's most important.
I need to continue to press forward knowing that He loves me greatly, just like He loves you.
I know my website and blogs are very much centered around His love for me and my experiences, but it is to document what I experienced. I am trying to balance my writing so you, too, also understand how much love God has for the world and the significance of what is going on in these precious days. The current events unfolding around the world are prophesied before me and while I haven't even begun to share my literal prophecy, I feel that I am sharing exactly what God has placed on my heart and mind.
It's so important that you, each of you - your family members and friends, repent and ask for forgiveness now, immediately now, wherever you and they are.......and walk forward as righteously as possible. Judgement Day is upon all of us, not just "a chosen few."
I've so much writing to do on just that which I will dive into today. May God bless and keep you; I pray my writing touches your core and gives you hope for a better and more glorious tomorrow.
With so much love -
