Dad's Ramblings -- Living By Convictions

LIVING BY CONVICTIONS

Esther 4:16

" 'Go,gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day.  My maids and I will do likewise.  And I will go to the king, which is against the law, and if I perish I perish!' "

Esther understood and accepted the consequences.  She knew that unless the king invited her into his presence by holding out his royal scepter to her, she would be killed (4:11).  Living according to convictions may cause economic reprisal, rejection and alienation, or even death.  But integrity says,"If I perish, I perish!" and leaves the consequences to God.

Today's Thought:  Living by convictions leaves the consequences to God.

Háve a trusting day.  Love you.
