FOUR IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE YOU NEED TO LEARN FROM THE BOOK OF ESTHER
Esther was place in a royal position, not by chance, but by purpose.
Proverbs 16:9 in his heart a man plans's his course, but the lord determine his steps.
GOD didn't make a mistake where he has place you today. I think we spend too long in our life trying to figure out where GOD want us to be or wish we were somewhere else, instead of just allowing GOD to do something with our life where we are, while waiting for more to come.
2. Sometimes you will have to go against common sense, against what other advise, even against what you want to do in order to follow GOD's plan.
Esther response: "if i perish, i perish"
Sometimes GOD:s will makes perfect sense, as you examine your experience. that doesn't mean, however, that you won't require to taken risk for GOD. The best things in life often come with the greatest risks. The degree of difficult is not an indication that GOD is not in it. In fact, the opposite would be closer to truth.
3. The time to follow GOD's plane is now. (Esther 4:14)
There will a time in your life where you gathered all the information you can, you've prayed as well as you know how, you've sought Godly counsel; whatever you are doing is not sinful....but there is some thing inside of you still not sure. you can sleep on it. That something i always do. Esther waited for 3 days, but at a point you have to muster the courage to move forward. Without all the answers, are you ready to step out and walk by faith? don't be afraid to allow GOD to determine the outcome.
4. Trusting in GOD completely brings great reward (Esther 8:17)
Esther saved a nation. Her obedience save GOD"s people from destruction! The reward for obedience was even better than expected. Esther went before the king hoping for the best, but had already prepared for the worst. She got the very best, many people became followers of GOD. The people were inspired by the faith of one woman and one man that everything change in that nation.
