Introduction:
Nestled within the rich tapestry of the Bible lies the story of Esther: a story of courage, faith, and divine intervention. Esther’s journey from an ordinary girl to the queen of Persia is not just a historical account. However, it is a timeless narrative that resonates with each of us and at its core, Esther’s bravery and faith shine through, illuminating the path for generations to come.
Esther:
The Unexpected Heroine Esther, an orphaned Jewish girl raised by her cousin Mordecai, finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the limelight as the queen of Persia, marrying King Xerxes. Despite her humble beginnings, Esther’s story is one of remarkable courage and bravery.
The Brave Act of Esther
When Esther learns of a plot to annihilate her people, she faces an impossible choice: remain silent and safe or risk her life by speaking out. Choosing courage over fear, Esther approaches the king uninvited, revealing her Jewish identity and pleading for the reversal of the decree.
Divine Intervention at Work
Furthermore, through Esther’s story, we see the hand of God guiding events in mysterious ways. Though God’s name is not mentioned explicitly, His presence is palpable in every twist and turn of the narrative, from Esther’s rise to power to the downfall of her enemies.
Lessons from Esther
Yet, Esther’s story challenges us to confront injustice and stand up for those who are oppressed. Also, It reminds us of the importance of trusting in God’s providence, even in the face of uncertainty. Through Esther’s bravery and faith, we learn valuable lessons about resilience, loyalty, and the power of conviction.
Conclusion
Therefore, as we reflect on Esther’s story, may we be inspired by her courage, faith, and divine intervention. Like Esther, may we dare to step out in faith, knowing that God is always with us, guiding and directing our steps.

Hello Friends! Every where we look there are so many crazy things going on. Fear can cause you to remain in one place!
When I was little we had a bit metal slide on the school playground. I was so scared of heights so I never slid down the big slide. Every day I watched my friends slide down the big slide until one day I slid down the slide.
I overcame my fear!
We can not live in faith and be fearful at the same time.
Fear can cause you to remain in one place, but courage can help you step out.
Isaiah 41:10 states: So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
What are you fearful about? I would love to pray for you. Leave a prayer request in the comments or message me at kamzinsser.com

Hello friends! Are you going through some struggles? It seems to be with everyone. I was listening to a podcast and one of the things that stood out to me was whatever you are going through, don’t give up. Friends, don’t give up, help is on the way!
You might be wondering as I am at times in my life, why we all have so many problems. It seems we just get past one problem and another one pops up.
It is so hard to have joy in the midst of struggles. Where is the joy?
A few days ago, I passed a vegetable and fruit stand on the side of the road. I turned my car around and went back to see what the lady was selling. She had plums and squash, yummy! In the course of our conversation, she said she used to sell at the farmer’s market but due to health reasons she had to stop. She said she couldn’t even can her fruits and vegetables like she did before. So, she decided to put up a tent and sell at her house.
She didn’t give up!
John 16:33 says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Friends you may be going through something today and you feel like giving up. Don’t give up, help is on the way.
God is our help when we have trouble. Look up because He will help you get through whatever you are going through.
