You have probably noticed by now that there was no post on Friday, December 26th. With Christmas this past week, I had a lot on my plate and didn't get to do the post. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and enjoyed spending time with your families.
We are about to see Esther come before King Xerxes. This week's lessons are challenging us to face our worse fears. At this point, Esther's worse fears were "If I go before the king, I may die" or "If I don't go before the king, I and all of the Jews will die". With fasting and prayer, we see that she trusted God with her life and decided to go before the king to save the Jews.
Are there things (fears) in our lives that we haven't completely trusted God to take care of? Do you have a lot of "what ifs" that you face everyday? God can take those doubts and fears and cause us to shine for His glory. God has put us where we are in our lives at this moment for a reason. So, no matter what happens to us, He is in control and will use that situation for the reason at hand.

I'm only on day 2 of week 5 (like I said, I'm running behind) but I wanted to know what everyone else thought about why Esther invited Haman to the banquet? I have never even questioned why she asked- I just accepted it and went on. I think she just wanted to look at Haman to see for herself what kind of person he was.
