Esther was a young woman living in the capital of the Persian Empire.

Dry Bones
Can dry bones come back to life? This was the question posed to the prophet Ezekiel. In his vision, he witnessed a miracle, but his message gives hope when we feel dry and empty, the Spirit of God can breathe new life into our being through the gospel.
