Never worry about what people think about you or how you are choosing to live your life. You have no control over another’s thinking anyway. Just live well. Live with integrity. Make wise choices. Serve others with a thankful heart, for it is always a heart issue. Leave petty worldly skirmishes behind.
You are here for such a time as this so choose your battles very carefully.
For those of you who are not on certain Social Media sites, I publish “Short Takes” every day. Below are the takes for last week. Also are included links to short posts “From the Archives of Esther’s Warriors Ministry.” I pray they bless you and keep you striving toward a full Kingdom walk ‘for such a time as this!’
God Bless,
Michele
~You are uniquely and wonderfully made. ~Do not compromise your individuality!
~Spend your time wisely. ~Your life is truly a gift!
~Be true to your word. ~ If you make a commitment, keep it!
Throughout the Bible it is written, “Now it came to pass…”
There is a “now” moment in every situation. It comes suddenly. It comes now. It does not tarry but comes at the appointed time…God’s perfect now moment.
So do not give up. Do not become weary. Press forward. Stand firm.
Remember the story of the woman with the issue of blood? She had suffered with her infirmity for twelve long years. She suffered much at the hands of many doctors and spent all her money. The scripture tells us that she actually became worse in her affliction.
In this time in history she was considered unclean and not to be among the populace. Yet, when she heard about Jesus she determined to follow Him. She knew if she could just touch the very hem of His garment she would be healed. Her faith had been sharpened through much adversity. Her
Troubled by something? Run it past these criteria:
1) Would you feel comfortable discussing it with Jesus? If not, decide to let it go. Often, we ruminate over very inconsequential issues in the scheme of all things. Therefore, they are probably not things you would even want to share with the Lord. He knows anyway.
2) Does this issue have any eternal implications? If not, walk away. Release it. It is not worth your time, energy, or potential anxiety. Perhaps this is just a refining moment to grow you and move you forward. How you handle a situation will have
Some people really believe it is “all about them.” No matter what happens they see it as an attack against them personally by anyone they encounter. Paranoia strikes deep. It is from a fractured heart to be sure. And, it is always a heart issue!
Life is simply a series of events. Do you see your life events as “all about you?” Unless you are an undercover agent sought after by many (even then), it is not “all about you.”
Step outside of yourself. Soften your heart with the compassion of Christ for others. Broaden your view.
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.

Sometimes in life, things are so pressing that you lose your sense of humor about everything. Being able to laugh in the face of adversity is truly a gift. We all have moments that we lose our focus and joie de vivre. Just do not park there and take up permanent residence.
God is able to restore. God is able to heal. God is able to renew.
Be open to His lead and direction. In this microwave time we live in, it is easy to want everything in an instant. What we want and what we truly need are often
