The story of Esther ends with this champion of Israel saving the people. Her willingness to enter the race, her obedience to her authorities, her ability to sacrifice and surrender, and her wisdom in dealing with the enemy brought her victory. She was able to triumph in the middle of crisis. The devil lost, and Esther and her people won!
Esther the champion did something we should all do. She planned her strategy and found a course to take so they might win the battle. She knew the cost involved could mean her life.
Good planners make successful leaders. Joseph, through a dream from the Lord, knew he had to plan for seven good years and seven bad years. Noah knew through the Lord speaking to him that he had to plan for a flood. He heard the voice of God who told him how to fashion (plan) the ark. Moses received plans for the tabernacle. David dreamed about building the temple where God could dwell, and his son Solomon continued that dream, planning and completing it.
Champions are rising all over the world today. Champions of righteousness are coming on the scene. Champions are expecting the Lord to work on their behalf. They are delighted to be serving God and His children. Recognizing they have a purpose on this earth, they desire to fulfill the assignments God has entrusted to them.
No matter who you are or where you come from, God desires to make a champion out of you. Take a step of faith and put your scepter out to the King. Ask Him for favor and release your gifts and calling to Him. The King will welcome your presence, hear your request, and grant you your petition.
Lord, make us all champions for You!
