THE END IS A NEW BEGINNING! JUST KEEP MOVING!
Basic Scripture: Esther 4:1-17
Martin Luther King said, “Refuse to Stop. If you can’t fly; run. If you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl, but by all means keep moving.” Today’s scripture is in alignment with that thought-stimulating quote above. There were nearly a million things that would have stopped Queen Esther from moving forward! Things like tradition (custom), fear of death, human advice from big uncles/aunties in the Lord, arrival of a late appointment letter from the king, fear of failure, etc, but she knew that it was either she did something fast (keep moving) or she would be consumed.

She said, “I will go to the king, though it is AGAINST the law…” – Vs 16b. Indeed, FOR YOU TO MAKE PROGRESS IN ANYTHING, YOU HAVE TO GO AGAINST A LOT OF THINGS! NOTE AND SHOUT THE WORD SHE USED AGAIN: “AGAINST.”
It is a word used in the war front of life! It is not a word used in the bedroom! Have you forgotten that you are in the war front of life daily? ODM Devotional 25 August 2019 – THE END IS A NEW BEGINNING! JUST KEEP MOVING!
Cain rose AGAINST Abel! Yes indeed, the flesh (Cain) lusted AGAINST the Spirit (Abel) and the Spirit lusteth AGAINST the flesh daily (Gal 5:17)! Goliath fought AGAINST David! Haman rose AGAINST Esther! Michael and the angels fought AGAINST the Dragon (Rev. 12:7)! That was in heaven! War in heaven? Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh! No matter how 2019 has been, be determined to fight and forge ahead!
Go AGAINST that pain of delay, laziness, sleep, discouragement, past disappointments, mistakes and failures, educational deficiencies and just keep moving! Never believe it is finished with you. T. Eliot, a popular American poet, said: “What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make the end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” So true!
There is no such thing as a bitter end! No! Not for a child of God! Life is like a building that can be renovated and rebuilt from the scratch because ALL things will work eventually for your good! Just keep moving!
