“If you carefully obey my commands… I will send rain on your land in its season, both the early and the latter rain.”

Israel had come from a wilderness where they depended on manna and where they did not cultivate the land as they would in Canaan. God taught them that the blessing of the land would depend on a relationship of love, obedience, and dependence upon Him.

Often when we hear about the story of Esther from the bible, the words “For such a time as this” are mentioned. This is true and Esther was placed in the king’s court to save the people of her lineage at the time.  Her bravery and wisdom in dealing with the king and the enemy of her people are well established and shared. We should all strive to be prepared for “such a time as this.”

Today, I am inspired to reflect on the profound fruit of patience, beautifully encapsulated in Galatians 5 as a fruit of the Spirit. This quality, often overlooked, holds immense power in our spiritual journey. When we embrace patience, we open our hearts to God, allowing Him to work within us and transform our thoughts and actions to mirror His divine character.

What does "position" mean biblically? In today's weekly word, we will express the importance of being in the right position. This means being in a precise location that aligns you with God's perfect will. Many people often ask the question, "Am I in the right place, Lord? Should I change churches? Should I change jobs?" These are questions we, as women, sometimes confront daily. I want to encourage you not to let your decisions be based on feelings or emotions. Instead, seek God's guidance in your choices. Always remember that everything assigned to your life has already been written.

Recently, I was reminded of the importance of trust. No matter how long you have walked with Christ, there are moments when trusting Him can seem difficult. Trust is the blind faith that we must have in God. So, why doesn't it come easily? It often comes down to unbelief and fear. Trust demands that faith arises, which becomes evident when we have a true relationship with the Lord. When we listen to what He says and to what His Word tells us, we embed those truths in our hearts and stand firm.
