TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this?”— Esther 4:14
SIT WITH THE WORD
Esther’s courage was not impulsive. She counted the cost, gathered her community to fast, prepared wisely, and then approached the king.
Godly courage does not chase visibility. It asks where silence would abandon another person. You may not control the outcome, but you can use what God has placed in your hand.
REFLECT WITH JESUS
Where might comfort be competing with courage?
1What influence has God entrusted to me?
2Who could be helped by my faithful action?
ONE FAITHFUL STEP

Provident God, show me where my voice can protect and serve. Give me preparation, wise timing, and courage to act. Amen.
