I am no Queen but God chose me to go and follow Him


After watching One Night with the King movie two weeks ago, I got really inspired by Esther’s life, though there were some added scenes which were not really written in the Bible. However, I already told about what she did to my Sunday school kids few years ago yet I did not realize how brave she really was then. But as I meditated with God’s word and her story – I learned that since God always choose random people to do His will and when the time comes He asks you to move and obey; we should let Him to use us for something wonderful even if we think it’s too risky or we won’t gain other people’s approval.

Wherever you are now could be used by the Lord for the expansion of His kingdom and He already had His plans for you which were always good, acceptable and perfect but it’s up to us if we’re going to believe that He won’t leave us nor forsake us. And that everything works together for good to those who love Him. And our labor in the Lord is not in vain so we should give to Him our all. No questions asked, just trust Him with all our hearts.

And here’s also a song by Mandisa called "Born for this", included in "(Music Inspired By) THE STORY", a Bible written like a story, with the video clips from One Night with the King movie.

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this

And to add up, we need the Bible to fight the good fight of faith. The word of God should be our daily bread so we would have strength and wisdom from Him only. We shouldn’t rely on our own abilities ever , for the Lord also says in  John 15:5, "Apart from me, you can do nothing " .


And on Proverbs 3:5-6"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight".


To some - the Bible is just a book full of unexciting text, but this gives me power, hope, love, faith and life. This is the word of God and here we find how great He is and how He loves us unconditionally...


and so iread, ibreathe, ilive GOD's WORD and ibelieve you should too
