Myrtle
Esther
EARS TO HEAR is the radio ministry of FAMILIES. BY GOD. For EARS TO HEAR, here’s Tim Glisson.
Myrtle was a beautiful girl, full of faith, love and life. Yet her life was anything but easy.
At a tender age her parents died leaving her an orphan. Lonely but not alone, Myrtle was adopted by an older cousin who raised her to love the Lord and His commandments.
Upon reaching maturity Myrtle was ceremoniously kidnapped by the kings court and forced into service. Scared but secure she drew upon the teachings of her adoptive father to help her keep her wits.
As crisis after crisis hit, it was Myrtle who handled each with a confidence that belied her age earning the King’s pleasure until he made her the new queen.
And when her people were facing war and extinction, it was Queen Myrtle, now Esther, who would risk her own security and life to save them.
Esther, a beautiful young queen who was taught by her adoptive father to obey him and obey God: two lessons she used to perfection in saving her people. Imagine how history would be changed had Mordecai not practiced these lessons himself in saying Yes Lord when God asked him to adopt?
Is God calling you to change the life of a child, so He can change the world?
