I’ve been going through a Bible study on Esther for the past nine weeks. Today’s study mirrors Esther 4:3 and Esther 8:16. Please go read those verses.

Look what God did and can still do in our circumstances today:

Mourning -> light

Fasting -> gladness

Weeping -> joy

Lamenting -> honor

Emotions are raw, and emotions are real. Our circumstances can make us or break us without God in the picture.

Let God in.

Whatever you’re going through let God be the center. Whatever you’re going through let God hold your hand and your heart.

He didn’t promise it would be easy, but He did promise He would be there.
