Courage - From Beauty Queen to Helping Save a Nation

“Haman said to King Xerxes, ‘There is a certain people dispersed and scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom whose customs are different from those of all other people and who do not obey the king's laws; it is not in the king's best interest to tolerate them. If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will put ten thousand talents of silver into the royal treasury for the men who carry out this business.’”

Esther 3:8 & 9

Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish.”

Esther 4:13 & 14

And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this.

1. God is at work around us all the time, even when we are not aware.

2. God’s ways are beyond our understanding.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counselor?

Romans 11:33-34 (ASV)

3. God will find a way for his will to be done, even if His way takes a convoluted path.

God, what am I doing here?

God, what would you have me learn here?

4. God uses imperfect people.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Romans 3:23

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10

5. God is always Faithful

Trust Him and be courageous!

He has done it in the past
