    Lately, I have been hanging out in the book of Exo Lately, I have been hanging out in the book of Exodus. There are so many rich promises here, grand moments of God breaking into our world to care for the helpless. But there are also the seemingly insignificant moments. The glimpses of divine tenderness for our small needs. How to administer justice for injured ox and stolen sheep, how to provide for the ordinary people who lose part of their livelihood. A lot of the scenarios mentioned don’t apply to most of us literally. And yet there is a sweet promise at the core of them. The promise that God cares even for the mundane needs of the most ordinary person. It is such a sweet glimpse into God’s heart if you don’t let yourself get bogged down in the minutia of it. Today, if you have a bunch of small cares wearing you down, remember this about God. He wants to look after those things. He doesn’t underestimate the importance of them in your heart and in your life. Lately, I have been hanging out in the book of Exodus.

    “Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn “Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved” (SOS 2:17) Have you read THE ROYAL ARTISAN?
    A new love. A new challenge. A new love. A new challenge.
    What happened to Esther after the conclusion of th What happened to Esther after the conclusion of the story that we read in the Bible? After the first Purim, what became of this beloved queen? Are you stumped? There is a reason for that. The biblical account doesn’t tell us the rest of the story of Esther. We are not told what happened to her after she saved her people. She had only been queen for six years at the conclusion of that story. She would have been young. What became of her afterward? Most of us assume that she went on as before. She remained queen. But when I dug into the historical records, I found a different queen named by the Persian and Greek records. Not Esther. What does that mean? How can we explain this inconsistency? The Palace Spy tells the story of Esther after the story of Purim. It tries to answer the question of what could have happened to this brave queen we all love. The Palace Spy will release in the Fall of this year. But you can already preorder a copy — click the link in my bio!
