Did you ever hear the expression โ’๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐?โ When I hear that quote I think of the huge, heavy doors of an old church building, the kind that squeaks when you pull it open. That immense, thick, wooden door swings open on a tiny metal hinge like any other door.

Think of Esther, as Mordecai talked her through her fears, a decision was made, and a nation was saved. An enormous door was flung wide open on the hinge of Estherโs decision to go to the king. Agreed, this was no small decision, but a decision nonetheless. This decision threw Esther into action, a time of fasting was set in place, a God-centered plan was enacted.

Iโm sure all this was for Esther, the knowledge that walking into the throne room of the King could be the very last thing she did. But Esther threw fear aside and walked through the door of her decision into the favor of the LORD.
Are there decisions that you are facing this week?
Small decisions?
Big decisions?
Is it time to take a baby step into changing your future or even perhaps the future of others?
Remember that God has placed you where you are because He has a plan. A glorious plan, not just for you but for those around you. As you pray and take those steps, always remember, โ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐!โ As the LORD threw the doors open wide for Esther, the God that is the same yesterday, today, and forever, will do the same for you.
