You may have been raised up โfor such a time as this,โ like Esther. This means you can walk with a new confidence: while everything around you may be unstable, what God has placed in you- eternity, cannot be shaken.
๐ Stay spiritually aware and connected.
๐ Let God shake what needs to be shaken in your life.
๐ Refuse to be led only by fear, pressure, or logic.
๐ Make decisions from a place of spiritual alignment, not panic or convenience.

Never settle for a truce with the devil.
If you give him a foothold he will turn it to a stronghold.
If you rent him a space in your mind, he will soon extend it to your body, finance, relationships etc.
So close every door.
If he comes a 1,000 times, resist him a 1,001 times.
Christian singer Matthew West shared a powerful story about taking his daughter to camp. During an exercise, the daughters were blindfolded and the dads were told to guide them through the woods after repeating three instructions: I will never leave you. You can ask me anything. And only listen for my voice.
At first, he could guide her easily. Then the counselors signaled for him to remove his hand. He was no longer allowed to speak unless his daughter remembered she could ask him anything. Eventually, they got off track on their hike and a counselor quietly led her into a ditch without her realizing it.
After standing there blindfolded and confused, she finally asked, โDad, are you there?โ
Matthew said he teared up as he answered, โYeah. Iโm here.โ
This moment reminded him how often we forget the same truths about God: that He never leaves us, we can ask Him anything, and we need to listen for His voice.
