One Life
Go, gather all the Jews who can be found in Susa, then fast for me. Stop eating and drinking for three days, night or day. I and my young women will fast likewise. Only then would I dare go to the king since it is not allowed by law, and if I perish, I perish.
- Esther 4:16
Don't be afraid of making decisions, because the devil wins standoffs. God teaches us through our mistakes. Your steps will be ordered of the Lord if you seek Him in every endeavor. Don't allow the devil to gain a toehold in your life through procrastination and indecision.
The children of Israel stood on one side of a valley week after week--until a young shepherd boy with a slingshot came along and made a decision to do something about the situation.
D. L. Moody said, "It is yet to be seen what God would do through one man's life surrendered totally to Him. I determine to be that man. Moody was never ordained, but he shook three continents with the power of God because he realized "all things are possible to those that believe"
(Luke 1:37). Be decisive for Christ. Commit to Him now. Don't worry about how the world will respond. Jesus will see you through every circumstance and valley.
Jesus, see me through. Help me to be decisive and to act immediately upon Your every command. Give me the courage to follow You wherever you lead. Amen.
