Fight Back
Esther 8-10
Who is God? He is faithful to his people. He saves them from slaughter. He turned a scary, hopeless situation to good, “And many of the people of the land became Jews themselves, for they feared what the Jews might do to them.” He increased his kingdom. He gave the Jews the power to overpower their enemies. These were people who were previoulsy waiting to be slaughtered.
What does that mean for me? Fight for the things you believe in and fight for your brothers and sisters in Christ. After Esther had saved Mordecai’s life she went back. She went back to the king to fight for the lives of her people. Fight back. This world is out to slaughter us. It wants to destroy us. Without God’s grace and faith in Jesus the only choice we have is death. Fight back. For God empowers and he has plans for all of us. Draw near to him. Sit with him. Be filled with him. Allow him to change you. Allow him to save your life.
Other ideas on my mind:
Sin is: Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscious, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish for spiritual things, then it is sin for you, however innocent it may be in itself.
The children of God have always struggled with this… finding their identity in Christ. It is an identity worth fighting for.
How we view ourselves affects how we act.
Who are you? Do you know who you are in Christ? Are you willing to act differently because your identity is founded in him?
