As it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no
mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

THOUGHTS
ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE
Many of the things we anticipate and dream
about are much less glorious in real life than they were in our imaginations.
There is one event, however, that is better than we can imagine and beyond our
wildest dreams. When Jesus returns to take us home to be with our Father, it
will be far better than we can ask, imagine, dream or think. Maranatha - Come Lord Jesus!
MY
PRAYER
Abba Father, thank you for knowing me before
time began. Thank you for crafting me in my mother's womb. Thank you for sending Jesus to pay the
price for my sins. And thank you in
advance for the day Jesus comes to take me home to be with you forever. Through my Conquering Savior I pray. 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!
