What were you made for? This scripture reading plan from Hope is Alive Ministries examines different people in the Bible and uncovers how they—like you—were made for more.

The book of Esther is set during the period of exile when God's people are scattered across the Persian empire. As nefarious men plot against the Jews, Esther reminds us that even in dark days God is providentially guiding and protecting His people.

Proverbs 31:10-31 describes a “virtuous woman,” an “excellent wife.” But the original Hebrew uses the word “Eshet Chayil,” which means “woman of valor.” Throughout the Bible, there are remarkable stories of women who were brave, strong, and steady under pressure. They were difference-makers in the world, and we can learn from their stories what it looks like to be a “woman of valor” today.

God's desire for His Children is for them to prosper,grow and make progress and not just exist and survive. However we notice that while few progress most barely get through. Is our God partial to bless only few? As we browse through the Bible we see several instances of God accomplishing extraordinary achievements through ordinary people. As we we study the lives of these individuals we recognise specific principles at work, these principles are the Laws of Progression which when practised will cause individuals to excel and not just exist.

What if we don’t have to travel far to get close to people who are distant from God? What if Christians were the best neighbors? Would your street change? Would heaven be fuller? A long time ago, a religious leader asked Jesus how to get into heaven. Jesus answered with a question, then the story of the Good Neighbor. No surprise, 2000 years later Jesus’ story still explains how to neighbor. Join Pastor Craig Groeschel and Life.Church in a practical, story-filled guide to meeting your neighbors and loving them as yourself. But don’t just read it—live it!

We all know that there is power in prayer. Prayer is defined in several ways: it is how we praise and worship our glorious Lord and Savior; it is our most powerful weapon; our open door to communication with the living God; the vehicle to confess our sin; how to find God's will for our lives and one of the ways we can hear the voice of our precious Savior. It is not very often that we hear about fasting with prayer, either from the pulpit or in our conversations as a church community. Yet, the Bible has so much to say on this subject and so many wonderful accounts of deliverance, forgiveness, and miracles that happened when God's people did fast and pray together. This ten-day reading plan will focus on some of the Biblical accounts and show us the undeniable power and movement of God when His people humble themselves through fasting and prayer.

Within us is a great desire to fulfill some kind of destiny. Learn from Joseph, Ruth, Esther, David, Solomon and Rahab, who all had a calling on their lives that ended in victory. God has given us these stories to learn how to do the same. 'Destiny' isn't a strange concept that falls outside your faith. In your day-to-day life, you are being shaped for His purposes.

Every Friday at the Sabbath meal, it is the Jewish tradition for the husband to sing the words from Proverbs 31:10–31 to his wife, praising her as an "eishet chayil," a “woman of valor.” It is the highest compliment one can bestow upon any woman. But who, exactly, is a woman of valor? The following devotions explore the qualities of 11 women of the Bible.

The book of Esther reminds us that God is working in all circumstances to accomplish His purposes. But Esther didn’t just sit by and let God sort out the details.

A humble faith is the foundation of godly courage.

You'll be encouraged to trust God's plan for your life, even when you don't see Him!

The Bible records these words of Jesus, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10NLT). By exploring the lives of some famous and some not-so-famous women of the Bible, you'll gain insight and tools to trade your "just-get-through-it life" for the "rich and satisfying life" Jesus promised.

In this plan, we will take you through the book of Esther. We can admire Esther's courage, but we should see the whole picture: Esther, too, needed to be reminded of Who rules and that her life is in His hand.

As Carolyn Lacey takes us through these 30 undated readings you’ll discover that although God’s name is absent from Esther, He is very much present directing the events that take place for the good of His people.
