Today on Turning Mountains into Molehills’ devotional, we explores the Old Testament book of Esther and apply it to our lives today.
A woman giving birth suffers in a way directly connected to her impending joy. The child comes through suffering, and therefore the joy of having the child flows out of suffering. God transforms suffering into joy. Joy both eclipses and redeems the suffering.
