The book of Esther is a complicated story about identity. In its first few chapters, she hides her identity for reasons we are never told. Esther’s rise to power is remarkable, yet the author’s main issue isn’t individual empowerment, but the death threat faced by her people and how she moved from timidity to tenacity and used her political connections and power to secure their survival.

If we could predict the future, do you think we would change our daily habits? Do you think we would invest in different things? If we could see the future results of our present efforts, we’d make far better decisions. This is no secret—God wants you to become all God created you to be. However, to become all that God created us to be, we have to make some choices and decisions to participate with God in the process. Your Future Self will thank you. Scripture: Proverbs 16:32 (NLT)
