Esther Lesson #13

"God is in control, yet...Esther had to decide to act.  We cannot understand how both can be true at the same time, and yet they are.  Possibly it is because God chooses to work through those willing to act for Him.  We should pray as if all depended on God and act as if all depended on us.  We should avoid two extremes:  do nothing and feeling that we must do it all." ~ Life Application Bible

Seven Things You'll Never Regret

* Feeling reverence for your Maker

* Showing kindness to an aged person

* Destroying a letter written in anger

* Offering the apology that saves a friendship

* Stopping a scandal that could wreck a reputation

* Taking time to show loved ones consideration

* Accepting the judgment of God on any question

This reminder was taken from Lesson #3, Becoming A Woman of Strength & Beauty, by Elizabeth George.

I have been wrong all along...

All along, I thought Queen Vashti struggled with submission to King Ahasuerus.  Day #2 of my journey through the book of Esther has shown me the error of my thinking.  Thank you, Elizabeth George, for writing the book, Becoming A Woman of Strength & Beauty.
