#badqueens

In the past 24 hours, God has had me reading quite a bit to help me on the next level that has been offered to me. This morning I read Esther and Ruth in that order. 

In a nutshell, Esther and Ruth have some GRAND similarities. It took me to read through the end of Ruth to understand why God had me to read them both at this point in my life. God is preparing me for the KING, He has planned for me all along. 

There are times as the #BAD Queen at heart, that I forget preparation must take place. Where Esther was a virgin that was prepared for a year with other virgins and Ruth worked in the field, both obtained favor from great and wealthy men. Both men were honorable and held to their word that they spoke. Both men found the women to be beautiful in their own rite. Esther in her beauty and sweetness; Ruth in loyalty to her mother in law and her willingness to work for her house.  Both were humble women which I’m sure gave them favor as well. 

God is calling us that have been married, or never been married to get prepared to be the Queens we were called to be. 

Here is a list of other similarities I took note of today :
