Studying Esther.... It's Tough Being a Woman

Thoughts from a Bible Study I am doing today on Esther:

We don't have to think "highly" of ourselves, to think obsessively about ourselves.... hmmmmm never thought of it that way, so either way it can become a self-centered state of mind.  OH I have been there, I admit that!

Romans 12 vs 3 "For by the grace given me I say to every one of you; Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgemnent in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."

Evaluating yourself by the worldly standards of success and achievement can Cause you to think too much about your worth in the eyes of other and thus miss your true value in God's eyes.

This was a good lesson for me this morning, now on with the rest of my day. I hope sharing God's lesson with you has brought you to chat with Him just a bit today. He loves to hear from you and awaits your conversation every day!
