Can you even imagine what Esther must have felt? Here she is at the palace. So out of place. She was used to a simple life. Not one of fancy things or royalty. Untaught when it came to all the protocol that comes with being a Queen. Any flaws she had must have seemed magnified. Only her love and passion for her God was deep and purpose drove her to submit to a plan she couldn't understand.
Now she is surrounded by servants trying to prepare her for a Night with the King.
I imagine that she must feel unsure of herself. Wondering why a King would even give her the time of day let alone choose her. Here he is of great wisdom, handsome, and great leadership. He could have had any woman he chose. So what was going to make him want a women with no royalty back ground? A woman rough around the edges? Beautiful women surrounded him. What was going to make her stand out? Only the anointed favor of God could make her stand out and cause her to win his heart for an eternity.

Yet she walks through the process knowing that God is with her. Soaking in specials oils and learning proper etiquette for meeting royalty. Changing her clothing. Grooming her hair. Eating different. Learning what he prefers. How to entertain him. So much she had to learn to be pleasing to someone of this authority, this caliber. I am sure she was a bit scared.
Often we are called to places that we are not comfortable in. Places we may feel out of place in. That is why the process is so important. God will always prepare us and teach us through the Holy Spirit, what we need to know. God will always anoint us as we commit to the process.
We don't chose these paths, for God has these plans even in your Momma's womb. That is why satan tries to destroy babies in the womb and our children at a young age. To keep them from fulfilling the calls on their lives. So we are to guard them and guide them along the journey to finding God's plan.
One night with the King changes everything...one day in his courts....did forever change my course...one moment in his presence...and I've never been the same....
Destiny was placed in me in my Momma's womb. Destiny can be a place, purpose, calling...whatever it is...
One Moment in His presence (click)
Today rather you are seeking to find out God's plan or you are walking the process of fulfilling God's plan, just know that God has all you need. He will provide, protect, and instruct. Grow through this process and allow God to manifest through you for HIS purpose and HIS people. God has a plan to win souls, help his people, and reach the hurting.
Never be afraid to step forward day by day toward what God has called you to do, or be. It may be a long process but the world is waiting for you to step up. So when you feel like hope has gone.......
Be the Esther of today.
There's Hero in you...if you look inside your heart (click)
