This Advent, Wait with Esther

This advent season, walk with Esther for 21 days; and learn to see the God who hides His face— so you can recognize Him when He finally shows it.

This isn’t the typical advent devotional,
where everything is wrapped in ribbon.

This is the book where God doesn’t have to sign His name, because he’s already there.
Where a beauty pageant becomes a rescue.
Where an orphan discovers the crown she wears is also a commission.

For twenty-one days, we will sit in Xerxes’ palace—
gold cups that prove nothing,
six-month parties that celebrate emptiness,
a king who mistakes noise for glory.

We’ll watch Vashti refuse.
We’ll watch Esther’s beauty dazzle.
We’ll meet Haman, whose wounded pride becomes genocide.
We’ll meet Mordecai, who tears his clothes and waits.

We learn that courage
sometimes looks like strategy.
That faith sometimes looks like
“If I perish, I perish.”

Each morning, you’ll receive:

A poem.
A passage.
A question you can’t dodge.
A prayer for those who wait in the dark.

Week One: The world as it is.
Power. Parties. The machinery of empire.

Week Two: The hidden hand.
God’s name is absent. His presence is everywhere.

Week Three: Deliverance.
Reversals. Gallows. The new decree.
From death sentence to dancing.

By Christmas Eve, you’ll see it—

Esther waited in a palace.
We wait in a world just as broken.

But the King we’re waiting for
doesn’t need marble pillars
or golden goblets
or proof.

He comes as a baby.
Born in the margins.
Flipping every script.

Twenty-one days.
Short. Scriptural.
