Hadas The Evergreen


Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Esther’s real name was Hadassah. Hadassah comes from the Hebrew word “Hadas” which means myrtle; a thick green bush which grows on the high places of Israel, with fragrant leaves and flowers used for perfume. No matter what the season or circumstance, it’s always green. What a beautiful name for the woman we know as Esther. She also was planted on a high place – the throne of Persia. She entered the king’s presence perfumed. In the end, she didn’t let circumstance determine her life, but proved faithful to who she was in Israel and in God. You too are to be a myrtle in the Lord; bear sweet fragrance all the days of your life, not determined by circumstances, but by who you are in God and who He is in you. Bear God’s fruits in season and out of season. Dwell in the high places of God, filled with His presence and you’ll overcome the world and every problem and circumstance. Don’t let a day go by without dwelling in His presence and your life will be like the myrtle and your walk evergreen.

From Message #366 – Lessons from Esther 
Scripture: 1 John 4:4

TODAY’S MISSION – Take time today to be in His presence – be evergreen.

Insert:

It occurs to me that 1 John 4:4 would be an excellent addition to my “memory” verses. A great witness can be short, followed by a friendly walk away, leaving prayer and the next messenger to a lost soul. The key question: Do we really believe what we say we believe is really true? By the grace of God alone, I do!; pointing to this verse amongst others. I’m a mess, but I am a redeemed mess, and I am : “All in!”

Soli Deo Gloria!
