Currently doing a Beth Moore Bible study on Esther and a few things she's said has struck me doing this week's homework:
"Some crises are too important for saving face. Saving lives is worth losing face every time. When was the last time you had to risk losing face to try to save something more precious than pride."
"Of all the rights bestowed on us as the children of God, perhaps none exceeds the right to repent and turn back to the Lord."
"In daily living, strength comes from muscle, and muscle develops with a workout. This is as true spiritually as physically. What we don't use, we lose."
"We are not the fragile flowers we've considered ourselves to be. We, like Esther, are the warrior princesses of God."
"Sometimes we fear that fighting for what is right will kill us. Then again, it occurs to us that to stand by and do nothing out of self-preservation is to be dead already."
"God has profoundly used the conviction that those heightened times of decision in my toughest trials could be 'make it or break it' moments in my destiny....in the times of greatest struggle when you make the Godward decision over convenience, earthly comfort, or carnal pleasure, you too have come to a critical moment in the fulfillment of your destiny. A defining moment. A war is being waged over your head in the unseen realm. You have no idea what's at stake."
"Sometimes our most important moments come hand-in-hand with our willingness to reveal that we aren't really who we've seemed to be."
