This blog post is based off of Esther 7:1-10 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
Esther had many things going against her when she approached the king to make her request. It wasn't a small one; it was one that would require exposure, and maybe more deaths. She risked her own life to save the lives of many - and even saved the line of Jesus.
Rosa Parks was another woman that most of us know about. She also risked her own life to save her people. Segregation and unjust laws were keeping her from feeling safe. She made a stand (by staying seated) and changed the destiny of many.
These two stories show us that we can stand up for what is right. No matter how young, old, low or high status we are it takes courage to take a stand. If God is nudging you to take a stand there are no excuses! There are things and people in this world that need everyday Esther's and Rosa's that are willing to take a stand and make change.
What can you do today to stand up for in life?
Luke 25:5-19
