Tonight's family reading · Invercargill
Esther Speaks Up — a 5-minute devotion for Invercargill families
Esther 4 · Using the place you have been given
A young queen learned her people were about to be destroyed. Speaking to the king uninvited could cost her life. Her cousin told her she had been placed there for such a time as this — so she went.
Use this one on the Invercargill weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Esther 4, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”Esther 4:14
Table question
Where has God placed you where you could speak up for someone?
30-second prayer
God, give us Esther's nerve — to use whatever place we have for people who have none. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in Invercargill — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. Using the place you have been given only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: the banquet and the turn-around (Esther 7). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
