Hadas The Evergreen

Hadassah The Evergreen…

Esther’s real name was Hadassah. Hadassah comes from the Hebrew word “Hadas” which means myrtle; a thick green bush which grows on the high places of Israel, with fragrant leaves and flowers used for perfume. No matter what the season or circumstance, it’s always green.

What a beautiful name for the woman we know as Esther. She was also planted on a high place – the throne of Persia. She entered the king’s presence perfumed. In the end, she didn’t let circumstances determine her life but proved faithful to who she was in Israel and in God.

You too are to be a myrtle in the Lord; bear sweet fragrance all the days of your life, not determined by circumstances, but by who you are in God and who He is in you. Bear God’s fruits in season and out of season.

Dwell in the high places of God, filled with His presence, and you’ll overcome the world and every problem and circumstance. Don’t let a day go by without dwelling in His presence, and your life will be like the myrtle and your walk evergreen.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Take time today to be in His presence – be evergreen.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
