Good Morning!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Esther 5 ~ I love Esther's restraint. She could've blurted out what she wanted, but she took her time to act. Ever find yourself going ahead of God?
I too love the way that Esther restrains herself and asks the King and Haman to dine with her. The old saying goes, "the way to a man is through his stomach." I am sorry, I got side tracked! :o)
The king truly admired Esther and he would give her anything - up to half of the kingdom. She knew that and was preparing him for what she would ask, which was not for half of the kingdom at all.
How many times have you found yourself so eager to do something that you get ahead of God? We are an impatient people for the most part. Look at our world today - every thing is instant or done so much faster than in years past.
Esther had asked Mordecai and all the Jews to fast and pray. She and her maid servants had done the same. She sought God's guidance and He answered. We need to do the same - with big decisions and little decisions. God wants to be involved in every part of our lives - He cares about the big and the little. I know it is easy to get ahead of Him and think we can do it on our own, but the results will be much bigger and better if we let Him lead.
Put it all in His Hands. One day at a time! He will lead and you will be blessed beyond your dreams. Let go and let God!
Have a great day!
