Tonight's family reading · Whangarei
Esther Speaks Up — a 5-minute devotion for Whangarei 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.
This works best in Whangarei as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Esther 4 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "using the place you have been given"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
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: write "Esther 4:14" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. Whangarei kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.
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?
