Shannon Bream Speaks, Part 4: You Gotta Go to the King
Anchor Fox News @ Night Shannon Bream Speaks - "You gotta go to the King!! But if you go to the King without being summoned, itcould be a death sentence. If you approached in the court without being asked to come, he could literally order you to be executed on the spot. And so, she didn't want to do it! Mordecai says, 'Don't think if you don't intercede that you are going to be safe.' And that is where we get that phrase where he says to her, 'Maybe you are put there for 'such a time as this'."

"Have faith is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out?
Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and familyand how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
Verse from book:
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19
