Today’s Reading:
Esther 5:9–13 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“Yet all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.”
(Esther 5:13)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Pride and Prejudice
A Thought for Today
Pride is never satisfied.
What This Means for Us Today
Haman had honor, wealth, and status.
Yet his pride could not rest because of one person.
Pride shifts our focus from gratitude to comparison.
It leaves us restless, even when we have enough.
Carry This With You
Contentment grows where pride is set aside.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, guard my heart from comparison.
Help me to be content in You.
Today’s Invitation
Notice where comparison arises today.
Choose gratitude instead.
