Still Here

During my devotional reading, I saw how Esther reminded Mordecai that it was a capital offense to appear before the king uninvited, unless he spared the intruder’s life by extending the golden scepter. She explained to him of how a further complication would have made such action doubly dangerous for her to not be summoned by Ahasuerus for thirty days, indicated that she might had incurred his displeasure. In turn, Mordecai responded to Esther’s rationale point was that even though she was a queen, she would not been escape when the rest of the Jews were slain. And that she would be destroyed if she refused to act now, when someone else would arise to deliver His people. I suspect that Queen Esther ascended to the throne so that she could save her people (Esther 4:10–14, NIV).

I reflect how each one of us should be optimistic about trying circumstances that we are encountering today to boldly approach the heavenly throne for grace to help us in time of need (Hebrews 4:16, NIV) and this prompts me to seek God’s forgiveness that has been stretched out to me at Calvary. I also saw how Haman went out to proclaim his worst enemy as a man whom the King delights to honour (Esther 6:4–11, NIV).

Today, I exalt God as King whom delights to be honoured in my life.

Let’s exalt God and honour Him as King in our lives!
