ESTHER!!!!! THERE WAS REALLY SOMETHING ABOUT HER

So,earlier this week I read the first two chapters of the book of Esther. She was described as an orphan who was being taken care of by her cousin Mordecai. Life’s circumstances didn’t really favour her, she was even from the Jewish tribe which were more like slaves, as they had been carried into exile. I tried to reconcile it with myself…definitely, am not an orphan, but some days life’s circumstances don’t really favour me…like on Monday, my boss was really annoying..ok! I know that can’t be equated with “orphanhood” but there are various challenges in life that just makes you depressed and unproductive.
But one thing I was able to learn from Esther was OBEDIENCE and HUMILITY, she obeyed Mordecai, she obeyed the guy that was in charge of the maidens, her beauty didn’t get into her head and she came out tops. My God definitely has a way of lifting one up from a place of disfavuor to favour after all odds.
In my heart of hearts, I pray that God gives me the grace to be humble, an obedient heart and wisdom to make the right choices knowing that at the end of the tunnel, there will be a bright light and that he is taking me somewhere!!!
