God Our Protector

OUR KING WILL ALWAYS PROTECT US

God doesn’t care about our background; He wants the best for those that love Him. He will protect us and He will never leave us – just like the King did for Esther.

"Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling o the couch where Esther was reclining." Esther 7:8

King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) in this chapter had to make a difficult decision. Haman was very close to Him, they were buddies and he probably loved him in a ‘bromance’ way. Sort of like Adam & Blake Shelton on The Voice! However, when it came to making a decision that would either benefit his friend or his wife. He chose his WIFE.

Ladies I Pray that your husband or future husband will always put you first above the opinions of his friends.

Wives, and future wives, love your husband & be his BEST friend, you and he are ONE and he ought to love you in the same way Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). Don’t lose a good thing in order to please your friends.

‘HA-HA’-HAMAN! YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!

Galatians 6:7 says: “Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. We reap what we sow.”

Whatever you intend on using to hurt another will often turn around to hurt you. If you’re sowing wickedness, trying to put someone down, it will boomerang and come back to you! God won’t wink at it. Just look at Haman.

‘Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.’ (Proverbs 26:27)

So, we can see the danger of trying to lay a trap for another to fall into. If we do, we’ll eventually fall into the trap ourselves. If you’re feeling revengeful; pray and leave it to God, just like Esther did.

PRIDE AND DESTRUCTION ARE GOOD FRIENDS

You can either be humble or be humiliated! ‘Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.’ (Proverbs 16:18) So far we have seen how the prideful nature of Haman led Him to set up his own death. Pride can be such a subtle sin for us; we need to keep ourselves in check. Always pray, ‘less of me and more of you Lord’!

To live for the greatness of God is to live the great life.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
