For Such a Time as This

Yesterday I woke up with Esther on my mind, the evil people who surrounded the king, & Mordecai, and felt very impressed by the Lord I was supposed to pray Scripture directly from Esther over the USA (I love praying Scripture over people and situations, IE Lord, I ask You to renew the youth of ____________'s lungs and crown ______ with loving kindness and compassion). Then I wondered if I was not hearing Him correctly. That morning I received an e-mail from a friend which mentioned Esther. Later, I received an e-mail from Lifeway and guess what, it was an advertisement with a trailer about Beth Moore's Esther study. I attended the study last year in Houston.

Don't be surprised when you receive confirmation from the Lord when you are unsure if you heard Him correctly. Many times I ask for confirmation. I have gone off 1/2 cocked enough times in my life to last the rest of my lifetime as well as several of your lifetimes. I don't want to do it anymore. I want to operate in His timing.

Have a blessed day ladies. Time to get in the Word.

I LOVE it when God does that! It is too cool! Great exhortation. Think I will go and do JUST that!

I have a couple of big things I am seeking His direction in. I want Him to audibly tell me, but I am asking respectfully for several confirmations, for this hard head. Too many times, I have jumped off, not asked, and gotten myself into a mess, and worse, not walked in His Will for my life. Good thoughts for me to reflect on this day. Love, Annette

I often say that I wish God put things in blinking lights...but I'm not sure I wouldn't question it if he did. However, I love receiving confirmation from the Lord about paths that I am to follow. Enjoy your day, sister!

love,
karen

I love it, too, when confirmation comes. God is so good to us!
