PEOPLE OF INFLUENCE
Esther 4:14b-16a
Mordecai sent a message to Esther: " 'Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.' Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 'Go gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan and fast for me....' "
God has placed people of faith in strategic positions of influence, such as our elected representatives. But sometimes they, like Esther, become isolated in their Washington citadel from what is happening in the real world (vss. 4-5). We can inform them of our concerns (vss. 7-8). But there is great pressure for them to keep quiet and not make waves. Their positions are imperilled if they do not follow protocol (vs. 11). We have two opportunities to make a difference: 1) we can inform them of our concerns, and 2) we can pray for them.
Today's Thought: People of influence need our input and our prayers.
Have an involved day. Love you.
