Scripture:
Romans 11:29
"For God's gifts and his call are irrevocable."
Reflection:
The stakes of Esther's obedience were higher than she could have imagined. If the Jews were destroyed, the line of David would be cut off. No line of David, no Messiah. No Messiah, no salvation for the world. Esther's courage in one moment preserved God's redemptive plan for all humanity. You may never know the full ramifications of your obedience, but God does. When you choose faithfulness in your moment, you're not just affecting your own life—you're participating in God's eternal purposes. The decision you make today, the stand you take, the sacrifice you offer—it could be the hinge on which someone else's eternity turns. Never underestimate what God can do through one person's obedience.
Prayer:
Father, expand my vision beyond my immediate circumstances. Help me see that my obedience today connects to Your eternal purposes in ways I can't comprehend. Give me faith to believe that what I do matters—not because I'm important, but because You are faithful to use surrendered lives for Your glory. Let my life be a link in the chain of Your redemptive work in the world. Amen.
Action:
Think about one area where you've been disobedient or hesitant to follow God's leading. Consider not just how it affects you, but how it might affect others—your children, your church, your community, future generations. Commit that area to God and take one step of obedience today.
