| My favorite book of the Bible | Mrs. Spry’s favorite book of the Bible is Esther because it demonstrates the Lord’s sovereignty. This book teaches that God is in control and His plans are always better than ours. Her favorite verse from this book is Esther 4:14, “…And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” This verse suggests that the Lord placed Esther exactly where she needed to be according to His perfect plan. It encourages me to remember that God is on the throne and He orchestrates my steps. |
