Book: Exodus

Esther’s courage changed history. Faced with death, she chose faith, fasting, and boldness—trusting God completely. Her story reminds us that we are placed where we are “for such a time as this.” When we depend on God, even in the hardest moments, He works through us to accomplish His purpose.

God met Moses in a burning bush—an ordinary place transformed by divine presence. Despite Moses’ fears and excuses, God called, equipped, and remained patient. This story reminds us that God sees our need, invites us into His purpose, and provides everything we lack. The question remains: will we respond in obedience?

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey fulfilled ancient prophecy, declaring Him the true Messiah. The crowd shouted “Hosanna,” but their praise was short-lived. When Jesus didn’t meet their expectations, they turned on Him. Today, He still rides in—gentle and lowly—asking: will you receive Him, or turn away?

Jonah’s anger toward Nineveh’s repentance reveals his misplaced priorities. He valued Israel over God’s mercy for all people. Through God’s response, Jonah learns that mercy and compassion should extend to everyone, not just those we deem worthy. This story challenges us to examine our hearts and align them with God’s.
