Wisdom And Your Calling

By Pastor Warren Richardson

---

She lost her parents at an early age, but refused to build her future around past tragedies. She was the most beautiful woman in 127 provinces, yet depended on the weaponry of fastingto achieve her goals. Her people were targeted for a massacre but she aborted it through skillful decision making. Her name was Esther.

The warrior is not known for their weapons, but their wisdom!
