DAILY READINGS: Numbers 34 to 35:8; Proverbs 30; Luke 5:1-16
So will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. Esther 4:16b
Esther’s love and conviction for her people was most noble. She was totally devoted to them and willingly put her life on the line. She had great faith in a great God. She trusted Him, because she knew Him. Defying the law and knowing the consequences, she confidently proclaimed, “If I perish, I perish.” Let us be like Esther, uncompromising in situations that push us to compromise. May we be confident in God, even to the point of laying down our lives for Him. —James Comte
Living for Jesus a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do,
Yielding allegiance, glad hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me. —Thomas Chisholm
