Some of the best examples of true devotion to God are the women in the Bible. 

Bible history teaches us that Esther was a captive. She got captured by a powerful king to be his wife. She glorified God despite being a captive in a strange place, married to a strange man. 

We are captives of the love of God, betrothed to Jesus. Are you glorifying Christ? Is your lifestyle one of true devotion and worship?

Devoted like Esther

Esther’s devotion is exemplary. Despite her circumstances and the people in her life, she found favour with God. She obeyed the counsel of God led by Mordecai (Holy Spirit) and saved Israel from being wiped out. 

We are in a strange world that belongs to a stranger, Satan. Yet, God is in absolute control. It is our time to glorify God and stop blaming people and circumstances. 

Esther was alone in her place of trial. She never complained or murmured. Instead, she sought God in prayer. 

Whether at home, marriage, church, or the workplace, learn to trust in God's promises as Esther did. 

God is on your side, dear believer. Trust in Him to receive your daily victory and rest. He will never leave you nor forsake you. 

Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
