Esther 1-5

Daily Verse

And who knows but that you have come

to royal position for such a time as this?"

Esther 4:14

Daily Thought

It was the sophomore boys turn to make dinner. Sloppy Joes. Yes, they were. Sloppy.

"Shake a friend's hand, shake a hand next to you," we sang loudly and did what we sang.
Verse 2, "Pinch a friend's cheek."
Verse 3, "Pick a friend's nose."

Youth Ministry. Winter Retreat. Cabins at Tahoe.

Game Time. Cover guys' faces with shaving cream. Girls have 30 seconds to blow cheese balls at our faces through PVC pipe. Next game. Caramel-covered apples, except one was a caramel-covered onion. Who can eat it fastest?

Speaker gives a great talk. More games, more songs. Late night. Guys and girls split up and go to their rooms.

It's 1am. She falls on her bed. Tired. No, exhausted.

But the girls want to talk. They huddle on her bed.

"I like what the speaker said tonight. Can you tell me more about Jesus and the woman at the well? I think I want to ask Jesus to be my Savior."

...for such a time as this.
~Esther 4:14

Daily Prayer

God, wonderful Savior, may I always be prepared to give and answer to anyone who asks about the hope I have in You.

You set the time, I'll be ready.

Amen.
