She Stole My Crown!

Women love compliments. We may not verbally say we love being complimented, but deep down it makes us feel special. More times than not, these compliments center around our physical appearances and our outward beauty, but there's a type of compliment that we should all be desiring. The best compliment we as women can receive is when someone comes up to us and praises us on our character. I wanted to re-study the book of Esther and so I asked the Holy Spirit to teach me something new about Esther. The book of Esther chapter one starts off with Vashti as queen but ends with Ester being the crowned queen. What caused this drastic change in royalty? What the Holy Spirit ended up teaching me was that as a woman, it is character, not beauty, that will sustain you in the position you wish to be in life

#21DaysBibleChallenge Days 19-21

And..... we are done! Today I am posting the last few devotions from our #21DaysBibleChallenge that ended on April 21st. I really want to thank and appreciate all those who took part in this challenge with me. Even though I may not know you did the challenge I know that God in heaven saw your devotions. It is my prayer that He will bless you for your time. I pray that as you desire to know Him that He will continue to reveal Himself and His plans to you. For those who did not start the challenge on time, please feel encouraged to do the challenge on your own time with whatever Bible chapter you choose to study. God will reveal Himself to whoever seeks Him so let us be intentional about knowing our Father.

Day 19: John Chapter 19
Lesson 1: Jesus Christ Knew All the Details About His mission on Earth, yet He obeyed to the End

" They said therefore among themselves, " Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, " They divided my garments among them and for my clothing they cast lots"-John 19:24

"After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled said, "I thirst"-John 19:28

"For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken"- John 19:36

"And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced"-John 19:37
