Esther 5:2 "The King reached out the Golden Scepter. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the sceptor.
He has invited us into His presence thanks to the crucified and risen life of His son, Jesus. Unlike Esther who had to wait till being summoned, we have been summoned into His courts with a lasting open door policy. Picture, His scepter extended always, temple doors wide open, and veil fabric torn for easy entry. We have permission to speak freely there with the King of Kings. We have permission to bring our requests and pleas before the One that can change the outcome. Just like Esther, we have been appointed for such a time as this to intercede and intercept on behalf of people around us. What a privilege to be a lady of the King!
Women's ministry can actually be excellent, relevant, and creative. Placing the emphasis on intimacy with Christ verses mere activity for Him. Encountering the living and written Word through teaching and community over dinners.
one of my favorite biblical images....powerful!
