Do you ever feel small and insignificant?

Nancy DeMoss Walgmuth is here to encourage you.

You may feel like a mere pawn on a chessboard, being moved around, but never underestimate the power of God.

Never underestimate the significance and the potential impact of your faith, of your prayers,

of your faithfulness, of your obedience.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas,

Walgamo, author of Choosing Gratitude for July 2nd, 2019.

Yesterday, Nancy began a three-day series, walking us through the story of Esther.

She's challenging you to consider, why does God have you in your

situation at this time? How does he want to use you in that situation? If you missed part one of this

series, you can hear it at revive our hearts.com. When we left off,

Haman had just convinced King Ahazueras to pass a law that put all the Jews living in Susa in danger.

Esther had been given the position of Queen in this pagan kingdom,

and her adopted father Mordecai sent her a message,

asking her to speak up for their people.

Esther's heart is stirred by this appeal for Mordecai, and she realizes that she has got to take

decisive action, that there is no time for delay. So verse 15, Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,

go, gather all the Jews to be found in Sousa, and hold a fast on my behalf. And do not eat or drink

for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Gather all the Jews,

she says. Do you notice she doesn't act alone? She realizes she is a part of a community. She realizes

the importance of being of one accord.

She calls for a three-day fast.
