Devotional Reflection:

Hey, Fabulous Mom! Ready to channel your inner queen?

Today’s spotlight is on Esther—our girl who went from a regular gal to a royal leader in a big, dramatic way! Esther’s story is like a masterclass in navigating leadership and purpose with grace and bravery.

Imagine Esther’s life: she’s just a young woman who ends up being crowned queen. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? But her true moment of heroism came when she had to step up, risk everything, and use her position to save her people. Esther didn’t just wear the crown; she used her influence to make a real difference.

Esther’s story reminds us that even in the midst of our busy, sometimes chaotic lives, we all have a role to play. Whether you’re leading at work, in your home, or in your community, you have the power to use your position and influence for good.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
