Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
God places each of us where our faith and courage can bless others, but answering His call requires us to let go of habits and fears that weaken our resolve. What do we need to place on the altar today so we have the spiritual strength to act when the Lord needs us?
Scripture
“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”—Esther 4:14
Quote
“Our time has come. We must possess the spiritual strength to overcome our challenges, laying our faults on the altar and giving our lives to the Lord.”—Mary Ellen Smoot, “For Such a Time as This”
