In this week's episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin and Diana begin a series in which we dive into submitted "favorite verses" from the members of Westlake and our listeners. Today, they dive into Diana's favorite verse, Esther 4:14 to explore the profound truth of God's sovereignty.
While God doesn't need us to fulfill His plans because His plan will succeed with or without us, He graciously invites us to join Him and be a part of His work. Even if we disobey Him and we miss out on the blessing, purpose, and joy that come from obedience, His will won't be derailed.
As Justin and Diana discuss these magnificent truths, be encouraged to trust in the God who rules over all and be challenged to boldly obey God-not because He needs us, but because he lovingly includes us.
