[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Wrapped in Winter by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

Winters are a part of life—some personal, some global—but all are powerful.
Try as we might to bundle up and lean into the wind, the heartiest among us
can fall. Nights are too long, and the question is all too common: Will
this winter ever pass? God has a six-letter word of encouragement:
E-S-T-H-E-R. The book of Esther was written to be read in wintertime for
the person who feels outnumbered by foes, outmaneuvered by fate, and
outdone by fear. It’s as if God, in his kind providence, heard all the
prayers of all the souls who have ever been stuck in an arctic February.
And to every person who has longed to see a green sprig on a barren branch,
he says, “Follow me. I want you to see what I can do.”
