Woman as advocates
‘If I perish, I perish’ (Esther 4:16).
These are the words of Queen Esther. Her people, the Jews, were about
to be slaughtered by royal decree. Could she intervene?
Only by risking her own life, for to approach the throne without invitation,
even for the Queen, was a capital offence unless the King had mercy.
But she knew that God was in charge of all things and that she could trust him.
With courage born of faith she addressed the king and saved God’s people.
Question: Am I courageous enough to do God’s will even in the face of opposition or danger?
Grafton Diocese is still feeling the effects of the floods in 2022.
Dear God, we give you grateful thanks for all those people who over the past year
have come forward to help in so many ways and for
the Anglicare North Coast team for their superb work.
