Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength.

THOUGHTS
ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE
So many times Satan seduces us into a flat, 2
dimensional Christianity - going to church and doing good deeds. But God calls us to a three dimensional
faith. He wants us to love him with all of our being in all of our actions and with all of our might.
MY
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, I honor you as God
Almighty. I appreciate you for all your
kindness and blessings lavished upon me.
I love you because you first loved me in Jesus. My heart's desire today
is to demonstrate my love for you in all I do, and love and say. Through Jesus. Amen.
Let The Lord Be Your Promotion
Now when the turn came for Esther the
daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter,
to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch,
the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of
all who saw her.
Esther 2:15
When King Ahasuerus was looking for a new
queen, the most beautiful women in the land were all brought into the palace.
All the women were given the opportunity to adorn themselves with whatever they
desired from the women’s quarters before they were brought for an audience with
the king.
But when it was Esther’s turn, she “requested
nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised.”
And look at the results: “Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw
her,” and the king “loved Esther more than all the other women, and she
obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the
royal crown upon her head and made her queen” (Esther 2:17).
While the other women probably tried to outdo
one another by relying on their own efforts, Esther wisely submitted to the one
person who knew the king’s preferences best, and the results speak for
themselves. I want you to see how Esther depended on the Lord’s unmerited
favor. She did not strive to win. She rested in the Lord and humbled herself,
and the Lord promoted her and exalted her above all the other beautiful women.
My friend, when you humble yourself and cease
from your efforts to promote yourself, and depend on Jesus alone, the Lord
Himself will be your promotion and increase. Like Esther, you will stand out in
a crowd and obtain grace and favor with God and man!
