Today's reading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pages 420-432 (Nehemiah 13 - Job 6)

Something to ponder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's your favorite moment in the Esther story and why? (Esther 1-10)

Key verse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"

Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."

Esther 4:12-16

Reminder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some portions of what we are reading appeal to certain individuals more than others. Don't expect to "enjoy" all of the Bible equally.

Encouragement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I must say that this was quite the challenge. First of all, I am NOT a reader. I do NOT like to read much at all.

"However, I started to read on March 4, 2007. I just finished reading the Bible in 52 days. The question that everyone asks is, 'Did you retain anything you read?' I have to say, 'Yes, I did.' This was a book I just could not put down. I would recommend this program to anyone."
