End of Chapter 4

Hi Gals! Great discussion today. Remember our small group is a place to share and know it won't be repeated outside of group - just like Vegas - what happens in Bible study STAYS in Bible study. Please respect that for each other. I will. I'm loving the time with you each week!

This week read Ester 4:12-17. Short passage but lots to think about.

What was Esther's response to Mordecai's challenge?

Think about Esther this week. What might be her hopes and dreams before she got taken into the harem? What about now? What might have been her plans for her life now that she was queen? I'm sure none of this was in her plan. What might she have thought her destiny would be both before this and after? Now she's at this huge crossroads. She obviously tried to get out of it with the Mordecai and clothes thing.

Now apply this to your life. What are your hopes and dreams? What are you going to do if God TOTALLY turns it upside down like He did with Esther? We are going to read Isaiah 43 so read it in advance if you want.

See you at GORF and next week!
God Bless.

  1. She was basicly saying to pray and hope for her (and fast) so she will have strength and courage and the lord while going to the king. She was also accepting of whatever God's plans are.
