VerseD: Esther 4:14
”For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14, NASB1995
Just like the rocks could have cried out at Jesus’ triumphal entry, God will get His Word to people to save them, but He wants us to be His feet, His hands, and His voice to the world.
This Sunday at Church: Pray for new deacons for your Church
We are looking for deacons all the time. I work with our deacons specifically to help make their work cohesive (not micromanage. I am way too engaged in several areas to do that!) More help is always needed and wanted. Having godly men and their wives is always great, and helping them grow is even better.
I joked around with one of our deacons about how he could grow as a teacher, and he said, “That’s definitely not my calling!” Today, he has taken on a teaching role at work and is about to help launch our new Young Adults ministry as our main teacher! And he’s the one who stepped up!
Pray for specific servants for the church. God raises them up in amazing ways.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
