Scripture for Reflection and Preparation


Esther 4:14 “14 ‘if you keep silent at this time, liberation and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another
place, but you and your father’s house will be destroyed. Who knows, perhaps you have come to the kingdom for
such a time as this.’”



1 Samuel 16:7
“7 But the lord said to Samuel,
‘Do not look at his appearance or his stature, because i have rejected him. Man does not see what the lord sees, for man sees what is visible,
but the lord sees the heart.’”



Proverbs 8:15-16
“15 it is by me that kings reign and rulers enact just law; 16 by me, princes lead, as do nobles [and]
all righteous judges.”
