If I Perish, I Perish

We treasure security, even though we know that security in this life carries no guarantees – possessions can be destroyed, beauty fades, relationships can be broken, and death is inevitable.

Only when our security rests on God and his unchanging nature can we face the challenges that life is sure to bring our way.

After Esther received the message from Mordecai she reply, “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”

Esther’s beauty and character won King Xerxes’s heart, and he made her his queen. Even in her favored position there was still no guarantee that the king would listen to her. She would be risking her life by attempting to see her husband, but cautiously and courageously, she decided to approach the king on behalf of her people.

Complete surrender! Esther had found her security in God and that gave her the courage to boldly live in her purpose.

When we face our own challenges, like Esther we should ask other believers to come along side us in prayer and fasting believing that God will give us the courage, perseverance and desire to do whatever He asks of us. Then surrender and experience the security of God.

Be Intentional in completely surrendering to God

Praises & Prayers

Father, I pray that we will make the decision to completely surrender to Your will, trusting that You will supply all we need to accomplish what You have prepared for us to do. Lord, You are our security. You are our strength. In Jesus’ name, amen.
