AUGUST 3-9: BE BRAVE
Come Follow Me “Thou Art Come ,,, for Such as Time as This” Esther
As God is in the details, surely he has put us in places where we can do His work. Save His people. The story of Esther is such a story. But it isn’t only about being put into the right place at the right time, it’s about having the courage to act at the moment it’s needed.
So we put on our ‘Esther’, rely on the faith of others as needed, and take the step forward. Then the next step.
‘Every step feels like I might fall, but you’re asking me to trust You all. I wish I felt stronger than this, but faith doesn’t always feel fearless.’

‘Let it move, let it lead your heart. Don’t be afraid to let yourself believe in who you are. Get your shoes, grab your courage, open the door, you’re about to see a you you’ve never seen before, and heaven will be there beside you.’
Brave - Hilary Weeks
Carrie Yost has given great thought about those we revere as heroes; Moses, David, Daniel, Esther. ‘Everyday humans called to do remarkable things. What made them different? Why would God put such great trust in these people?’
Young David didn’t slay Goliath with just a sling and a stone, he prevailed because he was holding to and trusting in God.
Called to Stand - Carrie Yost Music
Life will likely be full of times that require our bravery. Success through them build our confidence. Not just in ourselves, but in whom we hold on to. Let it be One who is stronger than us all!
‘Give me a faith like Daniel.. Hope like Moses... heart like David so I can face my giants with confidence.’
Confidence - Sanctus Real
Confidence is earned. By trusting. By acting in faith.
