In my previous post, I talked about Hegai (the King’s eunch’s) role in helping Esther secure the crown
Click here if you missed that, sis
But that wasn’t the main thing that made the King choose her
“So, what was?!” I hear you ask
According to Esther 2:15 and 17, it was favour
So let’s break that down
When I hear the word “favour” it immediately puts me in mind of the concept of grace
Why?
Because grace is by definition “the unmerited favour of God”
In other words…
Without the belief that:
You have God’s favour
He will cause people to favour you also
He made you “for such a time as this”
You won’t go towards your goals or the desires that He gave you
Because we go in the direction of of our beliefs
We see that play out in Esther 4:10-11 when Esther expressed fear of going to see the king about calling off the proposed genocide of her people
And…
We see it in modern day stats that show that women feel less at ease going for their goals by promoting themselves than men- which in turn means that they're less likely to do it.
Can you relate, sis?
What needs to be understood is that walking in God’s favour is a lifestyle that is born out of your mindset. Here are 4 tools that I use to develop it.
