God in the Shadows

God will use you, no matter how broken you are, if you are obedient. This is the lesson we can learn from the book of Esther.

Jill teaches us how to be believers who care enough to dare—believers with courage to do the right thing even when we're afraid!

When Esther's people were threatened, she had to choose whether or not she was going to stand up for them against the persecution of Haman. Would she keep her identity as a Jew a secret or stick her neck out and try to save them?

Have you experienced a darkening sky in your life? When you find yourself there, do you shine brighter for it, or flicker out? Esther's life seemed to be a downward spiral of difficulties.

Esther's life didn't turn out how she wanted it to. She found herself separated from her family and married to the unbelieving King of Persia. Through these trials, God made Esther into a Supernova.

If God called you to a difficult task in a difficult place, would you shine light into that place? Esther was a star for God and a great example of someone who faced seemingly impossible circumstances.
