This is a line from Esther’s story pointing to the concept that her main role in life was to intercede for the Jewish people when they were about to be annihilated through Haman’s deceptive ploy. Her courage and commitment to the task are commendable.

I remember asking God to have raised up a more faithful witness than me when I botched an opportunity to share the Gospel with a superior. Tragically, he passed from a heart attack about a week after I met with him. I had been prompted by the Holy Spirit to witness to him, but was disobedient.

Yes, we fail the Lord. He mercifully gives us more chances.

Advice: when you sense His promptings in these moments, ask for grace and courage to be obedient. Live with no regrets.

PRAYER: Lord, we want to be faithful to You in those moments You give us opportunity to be a voice or witness for You. You have always been faithful to us.
