Thoughts on Bible Reading: Romans5 & Esther9/10 [shared by Andrew]


Good morning all!  Today's reading of Romans 5 is such a "cheem" yet rich passage. So many reassuring verses:

 V1 talks of having Peace with God through Jesus 'cos we've been justified by faith.

V3 - "suffering" produces perseverance, character and hope

V5 God's love has been poured out to our hearts by the Holy Spirit

V8 Christ died for us - demonstrating God's love for us

What stood out for me in Esther 9 was how God turned things around
 so completely for the Jews - HE IS GOD! (How can I better trust and rely on Him?)

Also inspiring for me in Esther 10 was the description of Modecai as someone who worked for the good of the people and who spoke up for their welfare. (How can I learn from Modecai's example in how I do the things I do?)

Wishing all a blessed week and may others you meet this week be blessed by you!
