Day 37 of 183 Prayer and fasting
Mt Zion Contest🔥
The Esther Way
Esther 4:16 KJV
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
Being brave as a child of God, is a necessity. You don't need to submit to limitations of this world. Brave means showing the mental capacity to face danger or difficulties. There are no guarantees in being brave, you can either win or lose. Esther displayed the highest level of being brave, when she decides to go before the king on behalf Israelis, although this was against the law. This move by Esther, had the possibility of costing her life, no wonder why she said if I perish I perish. Being brave can put your dear life at risk. However, besides looking at how Esther risked her life, let's look at her basis. Prior to Esther going in before the King, she called for a cooperate prayer and fasting. Prayer invites or avails the help of the Spirit in all you do. Mere braveness can cost your life but when you have the help of the Spirit, then safety is guaranteed. Each time you want to exercise braveness like Esther, make sure you have basis.
