HISTORY LESSONS
Today's reading: Esther 6-10

"That night the king had trouble sleeping, so he ordered an attendant to bring the historical records of his kingdom so they could be read to him." Esther 6:1 NLT

Why might the king have been restless and unable to sleep? Well, some of his reasons might be some of the reasons we face...

Worry. Fear. Doubt.

Busy-ness. To-do lists racing through our minds. A full planner. More things to do than time to do them in.

Issues. Personal issues. Family issues. Political issues. National issues. World issues.

Pain. Hurt. Broken heart.

So he turned to a history book?

Good remedy.

When you're worried, recount what God has done for you in the past.

When you're too busy, make the time to sit at His feet thanking Him for all He's done.

When issues annoy, read the historical account of the gal who brought her issues to Jesus--and He took them over for her!

When hurts hurt, be soothed by the balm of the oldest document, the most published history book, the most helpful Book in the world!

Maybe it's time we were reminded a little more of history, and Who better to discuss it with than the One who has been for all time?
