God Plus Nothing Equals Everything

 Scripture:

“When it became the turn of Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai (who had raised her as if she were his own daughter) to go to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai the king’s eunuch, who was overseer of the women, had recommended. Yet Esther met with the approval of all who saw her.” ‭‭Esther‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

When women were brought before the king in hopes of becoming the next queen, they brought gifts with them for the king. They were given whatever they wanted to give to the king. When it was Esther’s turn, she didn’t ask for anything special. She went as she was, yet she met the approval of everyone who saw her. She didn’t need anything extra because God was with her.

Application:

God plus nothing equals everything. When God is on your side, favor will come upon your life. When you have God’s favor, you don’t need anything else. Others can have more qualifications, but you will get the job. Others will have extra gifts and talents, but you will be promoted. When God placed His favor on your life, you will stand out from the crowd.

Prayer:

Lord God, You are incredible! I want to walk in Your favor and blessing. I want to live a life that You can bless in every way. Live in and through my life. Use me for Your glory and let Your goodness and grace be evident to those around me as I serve You with all my heart. You are the best!

Your Son,

Jeff
