Esther’s Legacy: Embracing Your Role in God’s Sovereign PlanSample

Day 2: The Call to Courage

Scripture Reference:
Esther 5:1-2 - “On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace… When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand.”

Devotional:
Esther’s decision to approach King Xerxes without being summoned was an act of immense courage. In doing so, she risked her life for her people. This moment illustrates not only her bravery but also her faithfulness to God’s calling on her life. She understood that sometimes fulfilling our purpose requires stepping out of our comfort zones and facing fears head-on.

Courage is often required when we are called to fulfill our purpose. Like Esther, we may feel inadequate or fearful about what lies ahead; however, it is essential to remember that God equips those He calls. Our faith can empower us to take bold steps forward.

Prayer:
Lord God, grant me courage as I face challenges in my life. Help me to trust You fully and step out boldly when You call me to action. May I follow Your lead just as Esther did and stand firm in my faith amidst uncertainty. Amen.
