My devotions have been in the book of Esther this week. I love how God took Esther, an orphan Jew, living in a foreign land, and used her to save the Jews. She wasn’t wealthy, she didn’t have influence, she was just a girl who listened to the still small voice of God.
Looking at her life, I am guessing, she didn’t think she would ever become a Queen, much less be used by God to save her people. God often chooses the most unusual people to accomplish His plan. He is looking for those who are willing, not those who are perfect.
Are you willing?

Are you willing?
“For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.” 2 Corinthians 8:12
Where as He placed you today?
What has He called you to do?
“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
Wherever you are today, know God has placed you there. Don't be afraid to do what He asks of you. God wants willing servants, not perfect ones. He will take you where you are and turn you into someone you never imagine you could become.

Hi, Annika, great deovtion, I will be in a summer Bible study doing the Esther study and am very excited. Also, how do you do your spare ribs? I have a lot of them and not sure about exactly how to do them? thanks Lisa
I put frozen spare ribs in the crock-pot standing up, Country style I lay down, all day on low. A couple of hours before we want to eat them, I drain the juices, pour BBQ sauce on top and let them continue to cook on low (warm if they are cooing fast) until we are ready to eat them. I have a very large crock pot and have 8 or 9 racks in it right now. I have a good recipe for the oven, I will get that to you sometime.
Wow, great post! I look forward to getting to "know" you better :). Hope you had a great Mothers Day!
