Saving a Nation

Through this whole week I've been studying from, meditating on, and praying from the book of Esther. The book of Esther tells the story of a young gorgeous woman who is chosen to replace Queen Vashti through marriage. During her influential reign she is persuaded to put her life on the line to help save her people. WOW OH WOW!!!! That's a challenge. As I continuously ponder on this story, I wonder if I could step up to the plate like that, when the time comes. Could I truly give myself up for a nation? Am I really that worthy? I mean, Nathaniel is the only one that comes to mind, when i think of giving up my own life, so that he may have one. During the council Pastor King talked about being THE woman to save a nation, but how? How can little ol' me do something that great. There are so many annointed young ladies around me who are so much more worthy, than I. Then something dropped in the pit of my spirit, while I was reading. It was something that i had missed completely. Something I think people often overlook. Esther never saved her nation, with thousands of people. She never asked for any help, when confronting the King. Through one man's plea (Mordecai), she step out on faith and simply said, "...if I perish, I perish." I think that's very, very inspiring, and then a thought hit me. If it's a fact that many nations make up the world, then it's also true that every person has their own little world. Now if every person has their own little world, and I can help save apart of that world, then I TRULY am saving a nation. I don't have to preach to millions of people overseas, to be saving a nation; but if I can help save a friend in one aspect of his or her life, than I truely am saving a nation. Maybe even a generation or a legacy. See, the enemy doesn't take offense to something a Christian says or does, because the attack is not on us, but on our lineage and spiritual legacy. He never challenges us directly, but like the King tried to do to Mordecai, he tries to wipe out our whole race!!! But the only way I can truly be the leader God wants me to be is by allowing my cause to become more important than expensive clothes or gadgets, more important than earthly opinions, and more important than fleshly relationships (just to name a few)...I mean I'm not no high kakamorious Christian, so heavenly bound; no earthly good, but I must allow myself to go through somethings, so others don't have to (or if they do at least not like I did). I know this takes discipline and consistentency, along with alot of wilderness visits, but God has equipped me....and guess what....He has equipped you to...
