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.
