What will your response be when the Lord calls you? We can learn a lesson from the story of Vashti and Esther.
What will you do when Jesus,
your King, calls? As believers, each of us has a call on our lives.
Each of us can expect to hear the voice of our Lord inviting us not only
to enter His inner court but also to go and bless others in Jesus’
name.
What will you do?
The lives of Vashti and Esther—two women in Old Testament times who were
a lot like us—illustrate the two choices we can make: We can refuse to
respond when He invites us to come to Him, or we can answer, “I will.”
As we look at their stories, let’s ask ourselves: When the King calls,
will we choose not to respond and justify our decision with excuses, or
will we rise to the occasion, obey His command and be the catalyst for
great blessing toward others?
