I’ve often wondered if Queen Vashti, in the book of Esther, refused to come when summoned by the king because it wasn’t traditional for her to do so. When our King summons us, we must be sure that we are not being held back by tradition.
Lord, Send Me Into My Call
You may have a genuine desire to become a woman of destiny and fulfill the high calling of Christ Jesus for your life. Be assured that the Lord is raising up a vast army of handmaidens all around the world. Don’t be bound by the opinion of man (or woman). Simply follow God’s leading. If God calls you to stay home full time even after your children are grown, then do it! Maybe you are single, and God is calling you to the mission field; step out!
Please pray the following prayer with me right now:
Lord, I want to be a woman of destiny. I give You all of my life, my children, my family and other people’s opinions of me. Here am I, Lord. Send me into my call. Help me to break down any strongholds that stop me from completely serving You. I will go anywhere You ask me to go and do anything You ask me to do as long as I know it is Your will for my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. {eoa}
