The first seed that should be planted in your heart is the seed of God’s call. Every woman who walks with the Lord has a different story to tell about how He reached down and drew her to Himself. Why does God plant that seed of discipleship in your heart? Because He loves you. Before the foundation of the world, you were foreseen and designed in every intricate detail.

Many women are satisfied to be saved and on their way to heaven, not realizing that the Lord has a divine purpose for them on earth. Each woman the Lord calls to Himself has been created to use her gifts, talents and skills to promote His kingdom. However, God does more than call you into salvation; He calls you into His service. Esther’s life is a clear example of this.

Esther was a Jewish girl who was raised with a rich tradition of faith and godliness. The Lord chose Esther as the one who would intercede on behalf of the Jewish people to her husband, King Ahasuerus. Initially, Esther was afraid and did not embrace the purpose God had for her. But her cousin Mordecai helped her to see that God did not choose her to be queen just to be another pretty face. With His help, Esther used everything she had including her beauty, her position and her intelligence to save her people from annihilation.

Sometimes in our own lives, we struggle to discern what our purpose is, and we desire to know what God’s specific will is for our individual lives. But as we seek to be obedient to what He has revealed to us in His Word, our story will unfold, and we will recognize that we are living out the purpose He has for us.

Why We Do What We Do

"Dr. Evans,
This is a brief message to inform you that I am a social studies teacher at SF Christian Schools in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I strongly believe in your ministry and what it means for millions of people around this world. I do my very best to read your devotions and/or show your video clips to my students on a daily basis. Your devotions have had a great impact on the students and myself, and I am very pleased that all of your devotions are always Bible-driven and very relevant to all, especially my young adults here at SFC Schools. Thanks for being such a great Christian example for myself and ALL of my students."
