If you'd come up to me and say, "Bobby, do you have any information or advice for me to help me to be successful?" Here it is: Swift and complete obedience.

Now, here's you a great verse.
Psalms 139:16 says, "All of our days are written
in His book before we've ever lived a single one of them."
That's shocking, isn't it? All.
So, that would be August the 8th, 2021,
God wrote down somewhere in His journal
you'd be sitting in River Church. That's what it says.
Psalms 139:16. "All of our days are written in His book
before we've ever lived to single one of them."
If that's not purpose, I don't know what purpose is.
Now, here I, I'll give you a secret. Tell everybody you can find.
The real secret to success is making His journal
become our journey. Find out what He wrote for us to do each day
and then do it. I've been preaching 50 years, five times a week.
If you'd come up to me and say,
"Bobby, do you have any information or advice
for me to help me to be successful?"
Here it is. You ready? Swift and complete obedience.
Do as quickly as you can, as thorough as you can,
anything and everything He ask you to do.
Obedience is better than
- [Audience] Sacrifice.
And I'll tell you what he said. He said, "You tell my people
halfhearted obedience is nothing but cloaked rebellion."
We got to be fully committed to what God asked us to do.
And so, Esther, little Esther in the Bible,
her name means "bright, shining star."
So, she appears at the darkest of history in Israel's time,
but, boy, she's in the kingdom, and she's there by divine design.
And now, let me tell you, some of the people in the Bible
that you never hear about, I esteem them highly.
One of 'em is Vashti. Have you ever read the book of Esther?
You open the book of Esther,
you're right in the middle of a eight-month party.
An old king by the name of Ahasuerus
is throwing himself a blast, man.
He's got all of his drunk buddies there
from 127 providences. You ought to study about Ahasuerus.
His palace was nine-acres big. The house he lived in, nine acres.
That's what the Bible teaches. Anyway, Esther opened it up.
They're in the middle of an eight-month party.
It said they'd been drinking the strongest wine
and eating the richest meat. And now, I know we're adults,
but usually in a culture when
these heathen men are about half tanked up, what do they want?
Oh, they want somebody to shake their booty. (audience laughs)
That's what they want. And it's no different now than it was then.
Here's what the drunk,
here's what Ahasuerus said to his drunk buddies,
"I'm going to get my wife, Vashti, in here,
and she's gone dance for us."
So, he told one of his counselors, "Go get Vashti."
I don't think Vashti was a believer, but guess what happened?
She had morals. She had character.
'Cause when the king's court guy comes in there and says,
"Come on, Mama, he wants you to dance for his buddies,"
She wouldn't do it. She wouldn't disgrace herself
in the eyes of these lustful men, even at the king's order.
God sifts things to bring out His will. She's gone. She quit.
So, they ran out Vashti. She said, "I'd rather keep my morals
than be the queen of this court."
And then, so the counselor said, "Wait, we got big boy.
If it happened to him, it could happen to us.
We better get him a wife and get him one quick."
And that's where the beauty contest happened that Esther wins.
See, it's the coolest thing. And you hear
there's another guy interjected in it, Mordecai.
Have you looked up his Hebrew name? His Hebrew name,
His Hebrew name, part of it means "little and insignificant."
He's everything but little and insignificant.
It's through his instructions
that all of the Jewish nations were delivered.
He's the one that told his foster daughter, Esther,
"You better get in and do what you're called to do
and stand up for your people, Israel. If you don't,
deliverance will come,
but you and your whole family will be wiped out."
Esther 4:14, very pivotal verse,
"For who knows if you're in the kingdom for such a time as this?"
