35 | When Obedience Waits

Esther Series: 3 of 4

LISTEN HERE

In today’s episode of Rooted + Rested, we continue our Esther series with Esther 5 — the moment after Esther’s courageous decision, when obedience doesn’t rush, but waits.

This episode is for anyone who has taken a step of faith and now feels unsure, anxious, or discouraged because the outcome hasn’t appeared yet. Esther’s story reminds us that waiting is often where God is still working — aligning details we cannot see.

Self-Care Invitation

If waiting feels heavy, consider creating a small pause in your day with the Peace Hydro Mist — a gentle lavender spray designed to help calm your body and quiet your mind as you rest in God’s timing.

Key Takeaway

Just because God opens the door doesn’t mean you have to rush through it.
Waiting is not wasted — God is still at work.
