hey, hey sis!! so excited to be celebrating this milestone of 330k with you. all the details for the Bible study bundle giveaway are in the description box!! Now, let's chat: what does the phrase "for such a time as this" mean to you? for me: it's mean TRUST. Trusting God's timing, His plan, His strategy, and that where i am right NOW with allll that i've been through is very intentional on His part!
Hey 👋 Sister in the Lord. I been a part of the YT family for 2+ years now and I started and continue to watch you because I’m on a restoration and spiritual journey in life and your channel not only provide the guidance I need but, it’s providing with growth and the desire to want to learn more… Sometimes, journeys take more time than we expect but, when you find faith based community it makes it feel so much more comfortable and exciting. ❤ Thanks 🙏 for sharing the word! I don’t have Instagram or social media but, if I am the winner I can most definitely forward you my email 😉
For me, that phrase means something very similar. It means God knows what’s ahead even when we don’t, and that’s why we are called to trust Him. I shared in a vid a couple weeks ago that we as people are often nearsighted, but God sees FAR ahead, so everything we experience or that He allows us to go through will be “for such a time as this.” There’s a reason & a purpose 🙌🏾
Hi sis Melody! I came across your channel last year when I needed to learn how to do Bible study and hear and listen to GODs word, I been through so much with my baby girl, that brought me closer to the LORD ; that he has done a miracle on her, he heal my 1yr old daughter. GOD IS GOOD. HE works in mysterious way s and I’m blessed that he put me in the position I needed to be In. Also, blessed I came across your channel to help me how to start reading my bibje and how to understand it. God bless you 😊🫶🏻 Keep growing on your channel
I have found your channel when I was going through some tough times, being in a state without family and needed some push and encouragement and here I came up on your channel especially with you moving back from Korea (My 1st Encounter On This Channel)and then u traveling all over which I did enjoyed these vlogs as I myself love to learn about new places and their cultures....been ere from then...never left (Over 6+years)...Always enjoy ur times with you visiting your family also back in Florida..the Joy you all shared among each other is priceless and your sweet and humble self is amazing 👏🏽 Thank You for your continuous love, teachings and humility...I appreciate you🙌💯💯💃🏾💃🏾📖🙏🏾💪🏿
If I perish I perish! Like this is so defining! It reminds of when the 3 Hebrew boys said even if God doesn’t save them from the fire they won’t bow down to the king. To do what God has placed for you to do even if you don’t know the outcome, to have the faith and being obedient is so profound!
I found your channel last year after losing my grandma during the my senior year of college. At the time of her passing I was faced with almost being homelessness with my brother and son to take of ( my grandmother was the sole provider while I worked on completing school ) My faith in God was tested ! However "mYour channel has been a source of solace and inspiration during the most challenging time of my life. Your content helped me find moments of joy and positivity amidst the grief. I'm truly grateful for your presence and the comfort it brought me."
I love how Mordeci reminds Esther in verses 13-14 that she is also a Jew and that just because she is in the King’s house she won’t be able to escape. It was like a dose of reality. Then for him to follow it up with telling her that she was likely placed in such a position of power for such a time as this. I imagine that when Esther was told this she knew it was GO TIME! She didn’t continue to doubt but sent back clear instructions on what to do and she was ready for whatever the outcome would have been. It’s also a reminder that God doesn’t put more on us than we can bear. Everything happens for a reason. Me finding your channel was divine timing. I had been feeling like God had been trying to speak to me and draw me closer to him. One morning after listening to some affirmations at work your video “3 Signs God is Shifting You” popped up on my newsfeed ,and I have been locked in ever since. Your channel has been such a blessing in my life. Thank you 🙏🏾
I was reading the book of Esther just couple days ago and something that kept standing out to me is the fact that Hattach kept the conversation confidential. He could’ve went to Haman and told him Esther is a Jew and things could’ve went differently, so just as God used Esther and Mordecai, he used Hattach in a big way too.
I found your chanel when I was a baby christian this summer. I am 12 and I grew up christian but I was luke warm and I found God I am building closer with him. I dont like other devosinials but your's is engaging and I love your whole astechic. God bless all of you❤
Esther 4:14, Everything that we go through is preparing us for what God has for us. Nothing is wasted. Even the bad experiences prepares us for a such a time that is to come. It is those times we have to trust God that what we has for us is not to harm us. It is for our good. What we go through we grow through. Blessings, Melody!
whew! that was a word when you said “what we GO through we GROW through”. i’d pretty much gotten the same revelation from my time with God for this verse. from ch. 2 and this ch. the saying that’s been weighing on my heart is that “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” He just wants our yes, faithful obedience, and our trust that He is fighting for us on our behalf using us for His greater good and His glory.
I found this beautiful channel this year in January when I decided that my relationship with Jesus needed to grow. I lost my Mom last year and she used to share Jesus with me my whole life. Today I’m closer to God than I’ve ever been. I’ve had to depend on him for the smallest of things. I thank God for your channel. I’ve learned how to study and gotten so much encouragement from your channel. Thank you for letting God use you.❤
I was blessed to find your channel about 6 months ago after praying and looking for Christian content on TH-cam. God led me to you “for such a time as this” and it has helped me during my journey to seek a closer relationship with my Lord and Savior. Stay Blessed!
I don’t typically comment on your videos, but I always like them because I feel like they relate so much to me & my journey with God. I have been following you for about a month now, because I was looking for more faith based content on YT. That had Bible Study content & Bible breakdown content. I really enjoy the videos you post & look forward to them on a weekly basis. They have become a part of my Bible study sessions on Mondays. So thank you so much for your great content. 🤗🙏🏽❤️🦋
This was another gem. I know anytime I see a new video from Melody, it’s going to bless me in ways unimaginable because you are truly His servant. “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” We don’t know how our actions are connected to someone else’s destiny. I have been following you since March 2021, when I watched your video on the a Daniel fast. Your last video about letting God do the impossible encouraged me to move in the face of doubt too. Thank you for blessing us by letting God use you
The lord placed you on my channel ❤ I believe it was to dive deeper into the stories of the Bible as well for your encouraging words. You’re very gentle, genuine and bright. Thank you for your obedience 💕🤍
Good evening. It’s been maybe a month or so. I found your channel when I typed in Bible study and how to study the Bible. It was perfect timing, as such a time as this in my life.
I found your channel on TikTok last week and have been using your videos to guide my Bible studies. I really enjoy how you break each section down and allow the person to choose the scripture that speaks to you individually.
How I came about this channel... I had a neighbor who would always walk me through my new walk with God (after my divorce). I realize now, I relied on her too much for my salvation. I called her constantly at always requested for her to help me with this and that regarding my faith. She became a crutch. God had to intervene and remove her so that I would walk on MYNOWN STRENGTH! She moved to Colorado! I then was forced to have to do this on my own, and I DID IT. Looking through the channels I came across your smile and a caption that grabbed my attention. I click on it and was immediately overcome by the feeling of sisterhood. I also share channel with my colleague at work. Now I do my Bible study and my walk on my own spiritual strength and on Monday's I learn the word with my friend.
I found your TH-cam channel by searching “bible study black women” and God led me to you. I’m a new follower but the more I watch your videos the more it feels as if I’ve been here all along. 😃
I found your channel while on my healing journey. You seemed so shy and kind. I was amazed by your transformation. You’re very inspiring. You have helped me want to learn more..❤
I actually just found you a week ago. In this short period I’ve already learned so much. I thoroughly enjoy watching you. I love how you break things down in such simple terms that’s how I learn and I’m here to stay on your channel.
Our Lord does everything for a reason. Perhaps he knew Esther was the one who could help her people out of that deadly trap, yet she still needed to be reminded to trust God, to not rely on the rules of this world, to not fear, to not rely on her own understanding and perception of herself and to be confident in the fact that God is the only one who qualifies us for a mission he has for us. The lord can use all of us for his glory no matter our background, our current situation, our doubts and failures. And more importantly if we refuse the mission he will find some else to do it and we will just loose his favor for a moment of doubt. Congratulations on 331K and thank you for this Bible study. To God be all the glory amen 🙏🏾
I found your channel around this time last year! I had prayed about how I felt like I didn’t have anyone who I could go to for guidance on my walk with Christ after my grandma passed. I randomly got on TH-cam later that day and found your video on God using out trials to bring us closer to him. Your videos always pop up when I need a little navigation down this path so thank you for what you do. I’m a firm believer that God uses us to answer each others prayers because I lost my study Bible at the beginning of the year and haven’t been able to replace it so I’ve just been using the Bible app on my phone; keep being an inspiration to everyone sis 🩷
I can’t remember when I started watching your videos but I believe I’ve been watching for 3 or 4 months now and I’ve been locked in ever since. Your videos have been a blessing in my life. Thank you Melody!
Hello everyone! I’m not exactly sure when I found your channel. I know it was within this last year, when I finally surrendered and started to lean on the God of love, mercy, and forgiveness. For so long I fought through life on my own because I believed in a God I wasn’t very fond of and was convinced didn’t like me much either. Your channel has been such a blessing to me on my journey. I have joined one or two of your Bible studies since then. Thank you for allowing him to use you to help people like me!❤️
I feel like verse 14. Just makes you have reassurance to not lean on your own understanding, but just remembering that God puts us in places and makes us go through stuff even though we can’t see what’s going on we have to have faith and give all our worries to him to know that everything will be all right in Jesus name❤
What a great video. Thank you for your transparency with your anxiety. This year I’ve been saying “Lord I trust you”. I just happen to come across your page this year and I’ve been hooked.
I came across your page a month or so ago. I love that you back everything you teach with scripture and the scripture as a whole rather than pulling one verse and possibly taking it out of context. You do a great job at teaching it in a way that is understandable and relatable, as well as to the point. Thank you for your content.
Hello! I’m new here been here about 5 months now and I absolutely love your channel. It is my go to when I need to bring myself back and get into the word. It gives my Bible studies when I don’t know where to start. It is always right on time!
Hi Melody, Congratulations on 331k subscribers. I came across your channel about a little over a year ago. I was scrolling on TH-cam and I came across your channel and I clicked on your channel and started to watch. I found your channel interesting since you were talking about God and the Bible. Right then and there I subscribed to your channel cause I wanted to learn more about the bible. I don't want to bored you with my life history but I was in the pentecostal religion since I was a child and my dad was a minister. When I got older I was no longer in the religion. I stopped going to church. I pray at night before going to bed. Now I read the bible in the morning when I get up before getting ready to go to work and I pray at night before going to bed. Sorry for such a long comment. God bless you and your family always 🙏. Take care.
If I perish, I perish stood out to me because it really shows a posture of faith I long to have. I found your channel a year ago after an annulment . Your short videos were so rich and encouraging. Congrats on 330k!!
I found your channel when you posted your testimony! It was so profound and truly showed the power of God. I believe” for such a time as this” means that the God gave Esther the gist of beauty and influence and used his servant Mordeci to remind her that to trust him and that’s he destined in that moment to reveal his Glory. Though death was the option God used her to soften the King’s heart and save His people.
About 3 years ago, I was doing the Daniel’s fast for the first time and discovered your channel. You have inspired me along the way to begin my own TH-cam journey.
I located this channel a month ago and found it resourceful and helpful. I like how you break down the scriptures and help us apply them daily. I like the SOAP method. It truly allows us to delve into the scriptures. You are very welcoming and encouraging, which is refreshing. I like your approach to encouraging us to read and study the bible and apply it to our lives. It seems as if we are friends but never met. I thank God for giving you the courage, wisdom, and dedication to create this channel to help us invite God into our lives and live a purposeful life he created for us. I pray you continue spreading his word because he chose you to help him in this area.
I found your channel when I was learning to study the Bible. That’s where I discovered the SOAP method. And the rest was history became a subscriber and been here since for the Bible study and Bible quizzes. Love the channel ❤
I stumbled upon your page about 8 months ago. I was looking for someone to teach about studying the Bible but at the time you was doing 2 days a week. But I heard more of the content and see the Channel to be peaceful and it had a positive feel to it and I have also told my friends who are new to the faith to follow you because of the calmness of how you speak and it’s good teaching. 😊
Gurl, “for such a time as this!” God is chasing me and I believe it’s for such a time as this. Glory to God! He’s preparing me to speak truth to the generations, through my testimony….for such a time as this!
About a year and a half ago I felt like God was breaking me to bring him to him once and for all. I always go on TH-cam to watch reality tv clips but I ran into your video and I have been following and watching since. I feel like it has been helping me because I’m new to this level of surrender and commitment to God. The last video I watched was about your fitness journey and how that ties to serving God and I joined and committed to the gym 4 times a week. So thank you!!!!
I subscribed to your channel after finding you when looking up how to study the Bible with the soap method. Before I decided to give my life to Christ about 4 months ago I had never picked up a bible so I didn’t know where to start. And I thank God for people like you, who uses your platform to share wisdom to others like myself. Thank you ❤
I always feel there is a reason and a season for everything... situations and people. The words for such a time as this reflect my thought of the reason and season.
Thanks for sharing this lovely Bible Study Session on the book of Esther! Also, I found your channel about 1-2 years ago when I stumbled upon your Daniel Fast video. May God richly bless you for all you do for the Kingdom of God in Jesus' name.
I found this channel when I made the decision in my walk to control the music and entertainment I was allowing myself to digest. It hasn’t been easy to find genuine God fearing women to build community with, but I truly feel so connected to you whenever I watch your videos. Your positivity is so encouraging and I am so thankful God led me to this channel.
Love this Bible study technique with you sis... really enjoyed it..Pray we run our race and do it peacefully not looking at others and comparing ourselves in Jesus name..God has all of us big and small
Hello, I have been watching your videos for some time. I know it was before you got married and started your beautiful family. Your spirit and how you moved forward with the channel have helped me to understand the Bible more. I also received your purpose pamphlet, and this has helped me to stay more focused on how God is using me and giving me direction for my life. I love how you always reference God showing up in our lives and how we have to learn from these circumstances and experiences. Thank you for just being true to your assignment and not falling to the convictions of the world. Stay blessed.
One of my friends that watches your channel weekly shared one of your videos a few weeks ago and I loved so I subscribed. I have loved all the videos ever since then as well. You are so spiritually gifted!
I found your channel a few years ago but I don’t know how long I’ve actually been subscribed. Last year for me was a year of loss and big changes in life, and your videos always seem to be exactly what I need to hear from God! Thank you for being obedient. ❤
I believe I came across your channel beginning of the year (2023) when I needed it it the most. You are a blessing and I know for a fact that GOD is using you to enlighten us and comfort us ❤
I was going through TH-cam and seen your smile and the title of “God knows right where he want you”. I had not subscribed yet but I did view a couple of sessions and I connected in a clear understandable way of your covering Bible scriptures, I subscribed and tune in every possible chance. Thank you Lady Melody for your softness, wisdom and knowledge of helping me in my walk with the Lord. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family🙏🏽
God put your channel in my path this summer. Now I listen to one of your videos each day on my way to work. Thank you for your amazing content and letting God use you for His kingdom.
I recently found you in a time of mental health crisis. I really enjoyed your videos. They help me to feel like I am not alone and I have a community. I love the Bible studies as well. ❤
I found your channel back when I began my return to Christ. Your videos have really helped me and provide me reminders of continuing on my journey of getting closer to God. It seems as if every video I watch is right on time. I remember when you had 100,000 subscribers… now look at you! You’re truly doing gods work and I truly appreciate you🌸
I’ve been happy ever since I found your channel I watch your vlogs every Sunday and it brings so much joy I have always been close to the lord but have grown even closer thank you for preaching the word to us and many over the world you truly are a blessing ❤
You are such a beam of light, Stumbled on your channel since the testimony of your Daniel Fast and have been following you since then. I remember taking a leap of faith and doing a daniel fast in Aug of 2021 that worked for me and though I still had habits to work on myself, the prayer was to find my Joseph (A man I truly admire in the bible and love) so in Jan 2022 I started conversing with a guy who liked me back then in secondary school. I was linked with him through my sis who used to go to the same school as him, they were still in contact. As we kept getting to know one another on May 2022 we started dating it been wonderful, Christ being the centre of it and I hope will get to the aisle❤
See God🥺🥺He just connected two people from two different Worlds😮😮 @Melodu, you've been of inspiration to me, through your channel I've learnt alot of imperishable things..,I love it because it adds more to my Spiritual life,ever since I joined the Family(two years ago)alot has changed,and I bless the Lord for that More Grace❤❤❤
I found your channel a few months ago as I started to search for more Godly content in TH-cam. Your channel was recommended to me and I started watching a few of your videos and eventually subscribed. Your videos always come on time when I need a word or encouragement and I can always find something on your channel to get me through something that I’m going through. Thank you❤
I’m new to your channel. One day I was on you tube and I saw one of your post. I was hesitant to click on to hear it because there are so many on here proclaiming God’s word. I was so glad I did. I cried throughout your message. It truly lifted my spirit and day! 10:37
That last verse to me definitely meant that where I am right now I'm supposed to be as for a time as this to do what he's asking me to do and this very moment
Absolutely so grateful that I found your channel here on TH-cam. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago when trying to figure out how to study the Bible. Your method has definitely helped!
M E L O D Y 🎉 Congratssss on hitting this milestone, I have been following for a whileeeee! I found you from your Daniel Fast video from years ago and shared it with others I brought along in my fasting journey. I’ve watched your growth into marriage, motherhood and entrepreneurship, and you are such a reminder of God’s goodness! So proud. The same thing that drew me in then is the same thing that still draws me in today. Simplicity Softness Scripture Didn’t plan for that alliteration lol - but it’s true! Keep it up, it’s inspiring. This message from scripture came on a day that started in tears and despair that ultimately resulted in surrendering the fear of where this path will take me. I want the faith of Mordecai and passion of Esther. Thank you for bringing to my remembrance and thank you Lord for the blessing.
Congrats to you sister!! You are truly anointed and the Lord is really speaking through you!! I started watching you a couple months ago when I started following Christ and you have become a part of my weekly routine! I really do appreciate you and everything your doing in the army of God!! Slay sis!!
The TH-cam algorithm introduced me to your channel. Your videos kept appearing on my homepage and one day I stopped resisting and binge-watched a few of your videos that same day.
I believe your video came up on my home page, the video “you’re uncomfortable for a reason, God is redirecting you” came up & I watched it. This was during a time when I was leaving a toxic job for a new one in a completely different environment. I was definitely uncomfortable with the change, but I knew it was for a purpose & to better my mental health. Thank u for these videos! 💗 Edit: the part where you started talking about everything we’ve been through & we’re at the point where we’re supposed to be brought me to tears… I’m struggling but I’m getting through it, w God of course
I found you early this year while i was searching for ways to study the Bible. In the past i would just read passages and i felt like i was hearing God or getting close to Him. I must say you have been very helpful on my journey. Thank you
Hello Melody! I've been watching your posts for a few years. Your channel has been inspirational. "For a time this..." means ordered steps, and God is in the details. Please keep doing what you are doing. You are a BLESSING!
I am a new family member. It's been a month now. I found you when I seacrhed bible study, I wanted inspiration to start my own faith based channel, and I am hooked.
Hi Melody. I found your channel in March of this year (2023). It was a time in my life when a Christian friend of mine told me I wasn’t “Christian enough.” I began having doubts about my own faith and path. I’m not sure how I came across your channel, but know it was miraculous. I needed your videos during that time of my life.
I found your channel a few months ago after finding out I lost my job. I lost my faith you could say a long time ago even though I felt led, I would purposely go against what I felt I should be doing. In 2020 we had our baby girl and I started on this journey of growth. I definitely feel like I was led to your channel seeing as how I had not previously followed anything but documentaries so the allogrithm didn't put you in my view but there has been many a times as I navigate this new transition period where something you said seemed way too on point to be a coincidence ♡ I'm very thankful to have found your channel!!!
Greetings, I found your channel a few months ago as I was searching for godly voices. This year has been one of complete change. I am not the same person I was when the year started and I am thankful for it. I really enjoy watching your videos and growing along with you. Thanks so much for sharing!
I found your channel a year ago, when I took a decision to grow my relationship with God and I couldn't read and understand the bible.. So I have learned a lot from your channel and I am still learning. Thank you ❤
Hi Melody!! I found your channel through TH-cam recommendations. The video that stood out most to me and my personal journey with God is your goal settings WITH God video. I’m going through a spiritual journey currently so I’ve been watching your videos faithfully now as a tool to get closer to God. How you simply organize the content and put right where we reach it is phenomenal. Thank you for doing Gods work! 💕💕
love it, I stumble across your video this year randomly and was lead in my spirit to watch your video and I subscribed immediately. Love what you are doing. I can relate to this scripture when I remember back in 2010 when the Lord brought me back home to rededicate my life to him and I began to study the word and build a personal relationship with him and in that time I saw God working through me an using me in a mighty way. Praying and evangelism and the Lord spoke to me in that very hour those words for I have called you for such a time as this. I find your videos very encouraging, educational and motivating.😇🥰😇
I believe I found your video within this year- few months. I did binge and watch a few episodes and subscribe. I was just really getting on TH-cam and you were one of the first faith based channels I followed and loved 🥰 I live the honestly and I have even recommended and talked about your channel with others.
Congratulations on your 330K subscribers of the body of Christ. I came across your channel around the first of September if I’m not mistaken. This journey of being a believer and trusting, listening, hearing, and being obedient is not easy and lonely. God told me to leave my job in May of 2022. God has been my provider, salvation, redeemer, teacher, healer. He has set me for such a time as this where we are living in the last days and people are lost in the worldly things and God is calling his people to come out of shadows and go forth with his word. I have been studying, reading, fasting and praying for such as a time as this. I have been asking God for provision to be able to learn his word in different aspects of teaching to his children where they would understand. Keep going girl your channel is inspiring for me to keep seeking God face and he will give me wisdom and knowledge of him for his people. May God continue to fill you up.
Im new i stubbled across your channel when I looked up bible study with me on TH-cam. For a minute i was losing myself, and i spoke to God and I understood that his word is what I need. So here I am😊 I don't have any materials, Im just listening and using a paper n pencil because I'm that determined.
Your channel has been an inspiration to me. So I was going through a BAD time in my life . In the search bar I put … stress and anxiety and your video popped up. ❤️ and very since then it’s been up from there !!
I honestly don’t remember how I stumbled across your page! It’s been a while now. I believe I searched something specific about the Bible or a word and your video popped up. And when I clicked on your video, I was like oh yea, I’m subscribing! Lol. Now I’m starting to get closer to God again, I’m definitely coming to watch your videos! ❤
Hey Mel!! I don't remember when I started watching your videos 🤔 I just trusted after listening 1x to you speak about the Bible and following and believing in our Father you were meant to be a part of my faith walk and journey in this way 🙏🏽 I appreciate you being gentle and careful with your sharing sis. It's needed ❤
Congrats on the 330 followers! I am a 52 year old newbie on your channel. God let me to your page when I was searching for Bible studies and Christian content of encouragement. I was going through a very difficult season during the summer. He spoke through you, and I look forward to Mondays to have my me time with this channel! Thank you for being obedient to your calling! God bless you and your family!
I saw your page a while aback but only recently started viewing again. Definitely this SOAP Method is something l can apply to my Bible study life. Keep teaching others how to get closer to God. You definitely came to the TH-cam channel for a time like this giving us an example that we truly need to improve our spiritual life.
hey, hey sis!! so excited to be celebrating this milestone of 330k with you. all the details for the Bible study bundle giveaway are in the description box!! Now, let's chat: what does the phrase "for such a time as this" mean to you?
for me: it's mean TRUST. Trusting God's timing, His plan, His strategy, and that where i am right NOW with allll that i've been through is very intentional on His part!
Hey 👋 Sister in the Lord. I been a part of the YT family for 2+ years now and I started and continue to watch you because I’m on a restoration and spiritual journey in life and your channel not only provide the guidance I need but, it’s providing with growth and the desire to want to learn more… Sometimes, journeys take more time than we expect but, when you find faith based community it makes it feel so much more comfortable and exciting. ❤ Thanks 🙏 for sharing the word! I don’t have Instagram or social media but, if I am the winner I can most definitely forward you my email 😉

For me, that phrase means something very similar. It means God knows what’s ahead even when we don’t, and that’s why we are called to trust Him. I shared in a vid a couple weeks ago that we as people are often nearsighted, but God sees FAR ahead, so everything we experience or that He allows us to go through will be “for such a time as this.” There’s a reason & a purpose 🙌🏾
Hi sis Melody! I came across your channel last year when I needed to learn how to do Bible study and hear and listen to GODs word, I been through so much with my baby girl, that brought me closer to the LORD ; that he has done a miracle on her, he heal my 1yr old daughter. GOD IS GOOD. HE works in mysterious way s and I’m blessed that he put me in the position I needed to be In. Also, blessed I came across your channel to help me how to start reading my bibje and how to understand it. God bless you 😊🫶🏻 Keep growing on your channel
I have found your channel when I was going through some tough times, being in a state without family and needed some push and encouragement and here I came up on your channel especially with you moving back from Korea (My 1st Encounter On This Channel)and then u traveling all over which I did enjoyed these vlogs as I myself love to learn about new places and their cultures....been ere from then...never left (Over 6+years)...Always enjoy ur times with you visiting your family also back in Florida..the Joy you all shared among each other is priceless and your sweet and humble self is amazing 👏🏽 Thank You for your continuous love, teachings and humility...I appreciate you🙌💯💯💃🏾💃🏾📖🙏🏾💪🏿
If I perish I perish! Like this is so defining! It reminds of when the 3 Hebrew boys said even if God doesn’t save them from the fire they won’t bow down to the king. To do what God has placed for you to do even if you don’t know the outcome, to have the faith and being obedient is so profound!
Amen!
Amen
I have been subscribed to your channel for about 2 months!! Your videos are very inspiring me to grow more in the lord
Yes Sis! Thank you for saying this. It was a sign that I prayed for. Amen. Move with faith PERIOD!
I found your channel last year after losing my grandma during the my senior year of college. At the time of her passing I was faced with almost being homelessness with my brother and son to take of ( my grandmother was the sole provider while I worked on completing school ) My faith in God was tested ! However "mYour channel has been a source of solace and inspiration during the most challenging time of my life. Your content helped me find moments of joy and positivity amidst the grief. I'm truly grateful for your presence and the comfort it brought me."
I love how Mordeci reminds Esther in verses 13-14 that she is also a Jew and that just because she is in the King’s house she won’t be able to escape. It was like a dose of reality. Then for him to follow it up with telling her that she was likely placed in such a position of power for such a time as this. I imagine that when Esther was told this she knew it was GO TIME! She didn’t continue to doubt but sent back clear instructions on what to do and she was ready for whatever the outcome would have been. It’s also a reminder that God doesn’t put more on us than we can bear. Everything happens for a reason.
Me finding your channel was divine timing. I had been feeling like God had been trying to speak to me and draw me closer to him. One morning after listening to some affirmations at work your video “3 Signs God is Shifting You” popped up on my newsfeed ,and I have been locked in ever since. Your channel has been such a blessing in my life. Thank you 🙏🏾
Well said! Thank you for sharing.
I was reading the book of Esther just couple days ago and something that kept standing out to me is the fact that Hattach kept the conversation confidential. He could’ve went to Haman and told him Esther is a Jew and things could’ve went differently, so just as God used Esther and Mordecai, he used Hattach in a big way too.
yes! after watching this video i respect him so much more
I found your chanel when I was a baby christian this summer. I am 12 and I grew up christian but I was luke warm and I found God I am building closer with him. I dont like other devosinials but your's is engaging and I love your whole astechic. God bless all of you❤
Esther 4:14, Everything that we go through is preparing us for what God has for us. Nothing is wasted. Even the bad experiences prepares us for a such a time that is to come. It is those times we have to trust God that what we has for us is not to harm us. It is for our good. What we go through we grow through. Blessings, Melody!
whew! that was a word when you said “what we GO through we GROW through”. i’d pretty much gotten the same revelation from my time with God for this verse. from ch. 2 and this ch. the saying that’s been weighing on my heart is that “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” He just wants our yes, faithful obedience, and our trust that He is fighting for us on our behalf using us for His greater good and His glory.
I love your Bible studies 🫶🏽💗
ty sis! i love filming these!! so refreshing for me
I found this beautiful channel this year in January when I decided that my relationship with Jesus needed to grow. I lost my Mom last year and she used to share Jesus with me my whole life. Today I’m closer to God than I’ve ever been. I’ve had to depend on him for the smallest of things. I thank God for your channel. I’ve learned how to study and gotten so much encouragement from your channel. Thank you for letting God use you.❤
I was blessed to find your channel about 6 months ago after praying and looking for Christian content on TH-cam. God led me to you “for such a time as this” and it has helped me during my journey to seek a closer relationship with my Lord and Savior. Stay Blessed!
I don’t typically comment on your videos, but I always like them because I feel like they relate so much to me & my journey with God. I have been following you for about a month now, because I was looking for more faith based content on YT. That had Bible Study content & Bible breakdown content. I really enjoy the videos you post & look forward to them on a weekly basis. They have become a part of my Bible study sessions on Mondays. So thank you so much for your great content. 🤗🙏🏽❤️🦋
This was another gem. I know anytime I see a new video from Melody, it’s going to bless me in ways unimaginable because you are truly His servant. “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” We don’t know how our actions are connected to someone else’s destiny.
I have been following you since March 2021, when I watched your video on the a Daniel fast. Your last video about letting God do the impossible encouraged me to move in the face of doubt too. Thank you for blessing us by letting God use you
I’m a newbie, i was looking for someone who was bubbly and interesting that help me understand the Bible and study time.
The lord placed you on my channel ❤
I believe it was to dive deeper into the stories of the Bible as well for your encouraging words. You’re very gentle, genuine and bright. Thank you for your obedience 💕🤍
Good evening. It’s been maybe a month or so. I found your channel when I typed in Bible study and how to study the Bible. It was perfect timing, as such a time as this in my life.
I found your channel on TikTok last week and have been using your videos to guide my Bible studies. I really enjoy how you break each section down and allow the person to choose the scripture that speaks to you individually.
How I came about this channel... I had a neighbor who would always walk me through my new walk with God (after my divorce). I realize now, I relied on her too much for my salvation. I called her constantly at always requested for her to help me with this and that regarding my faith. She became a crutch. God had to intervene and remove her so that I would walk on MYNOWN STRENGTH! She moved to Colorado! I then was forced to have to do this on my own, and I DID IT. Looking through the channels I came across your smile and a caption that grabbed my attention. I click on it and was immediately overcome by the feeling of sisterhood. I also share channel with my colleague at work. Now I do my Bible study and my walk on my own spiritual strength and on Monday's I learn the word with my friend.
I found your TH-cam channel by searching “bible study black women” and God led me to you. I’m a new follower but the more I watch your videos the more it feels as if I’ve been here all along. 😃
I found your channel while on my healing journey. You seemed so shy and kind. I was amazed by your transformation. You’re very inspiring. You have helped me want to learn more..❤
I actually just found you a week ago. In this short period I’ve already learned so much. I thoroughly enjoy watching you. I love how you break things down in such simple terms that’s how I learn and I’m here to stay on your channel.
I came across your channel at the time of Daniel fasting videos been stuck since then! Love to see content creators spreading the gospel!
💚💚💚 I relate to the anxiety and ruminating on my mistakes. But i love, I'm not enough but God is! Thank you.
Our Lord does everything for a reason. Perhaps he knew Esther was the one who could help her people out of that deadly trap, yet she still needed to be reminded to trust God, to not rely on the rules of this world, to not fear, to not rely on her own understanding and perception of herself and to be confident in the fact that God is the only one who qualifies us for a mission he has for us. The lord can use all of us for his glory no matter our background, our current situation, our doubts and failures. And more importantly if we refuse the mission he will find some else to do it and we will just loose his favor for a moment of doubt. Congratulations on 331K and thank you for this Bible study. To God be all the glory amen 🙏🏾
I found your channel around this time last year! I had prayed about how I felt like I didn’t have anyone who I could go to for guidance on my walk with Christ after my grandma passed. I randomly got on TH-cam later that day and found your video on God using out trials to bring us closer to him. Your videos always pop up when I need a little navigation down this path so thank you for what you do. I’m a firm believer that God uses us to answer each others prayers because I lost my study Bible at the beginning of the year and haven’t been able to replace it so I’ve just been using the Bible app on my phone; keep being an inspiration to everyone sis 🩷
I can’t remember when I started watching your videos but I believe I’ve been watching for 3 or 4 months now and I’ve been locked in ever since. Your videos have been a blessing in my life. Thank you Melody!
Hello everyone! I’m not exactly sure when I found your channel. I know it was within this last year, when I finally surrendered and started to lean on the God of love, mercy, and forgiveness. For so long I fought through life on my own because I believed in a God I wasn’t very fond of and was convinced didn’t like me much either. Your channel has been such a blessing to me on my journey. I have joined one or two of your Bible studies since then. Thank you for allowing him to use you to help people like me!❤️
I feel like verse 14. Just makes you have reassurance to not lean on your own understanding, but just remembering that God puts us in places and makes us go through stuff even though we can’t see what’s going on we have to have faith and give all our worries to him to know that everything will be all right in Jesus name❤
What a great video. Thank you for your transparency with your anxiety. This year I’ve been saying “Lord I trust you”.
I just happen to come across your page this year and I’ve been hooked.
I came across your page a month or so ago. I love that you back everything you teach with scripture and the scripture as a whole rather than pulling one verse and possibly taking it out of context. You do a great job at teaching it in a way that is understandable and relatable, as well as to the point. Thank you for your content.
Hello! I’m new here been here about 5 months now and I absolutely love your channel. It is my go to when I need to bring myself back and get into the word. It gives my Bible studies when I don’t know where to start. It is always right on time!
Hi Alisa
I found you by. Scrolling TH-cam last year and I have been listening since. Thank you for making scriptures simple.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hi Melody, Congratulations on 331k subscribers. I came across your channel about a little over a year ago. I was scrolling on TH-cam and I came across your channel and I clicked on your channel and started to watch. I found your channel interesting since you were talking about God and the Bible. Right then and there I subscribed to your channel cause I wanted to learn more about the bible. I don't want to bored you with my life history but I was in the pentecostal religion since I was a child and my dad was a minister. When I got older I was no longer in the religion. I stopped going to church. I pray at night before going to bed. Now I read the bible in the morning when I get up before getting ready to go to work and I pray at night before going to bed. Sorry for such a long comment. God bless you and your family always 🙏. Take care.
If I perish, I perish stood out to me because it really shows a posture of faith I long to have. I found your channel a year ago after an annulment . Your short videos were so rich and encouraging. Congrats on 330k!!
I found your channel when you posted your testimony! It was so profound and truly showed the power of God. I believe” for such a time as this” means that the God gave Esther the gist of beauty and influence and used his servant Mordeci to remind her that to trust him and that’s he destined in that moment to reveal his Glory. Though death was the option God used her to soften the King’s heart and save His people.
About 3 years ago, I was doing the Daniel’s fast for the first time and discovered your channel. You have inspired me along the way to begin my own TH-cam journey.
I located this channel a month ago and found it resourceful and helpful. I like how you break down the scriptures and help us apply them daily. I like the SOAP method. It truly allows us to delve into the scriptures. You are very welcoming and encouraging, which is refreshing. I like your approach to encouraging us to read and study the bible and apply it to our lives. It seems as if we are friends but never met. I thank God for giving you the courage, wisdom, and dedication to create this channel to help us invite God into our lives and live a purposeful life he created for us. I pray you continue spreading his word because he chose you to help him in this area.
I found your channel when I was learning to study the Bible. That’s where I discovered the SOAP method. And the rest was history became a subscriber and been here since for the Bible study and Bible quizzes. Love the channel ❤
I stumbled upon your page about 8 months ago. I was looking for someone to teach about studying the Bible but at the time you was doing 2 days a week. But I heard more of the content and see the Channel to be peaceful and it had a positive feel to it and I have also told my friends who are new to the faith to follow you because of the calmness of how you speak and it’s good teaching. 😊
Gurl, “for such a time as this!” God is chasing me and I believe it’s for such a time as this. Glory to God! He’s preparing me to speak truth to the generations, through my testimony….for such a time as this!
About a year and a half ago I felt like God was breaking me to bring him to him once and for all. I always go on TH-cam to watch reality tv clips but I ran into your video and I have been following and watching since. I feel like it has been helping me because I’m new to this level of surrender and commitment to God. The last video I watched was about your fitness journey and how that ties to serving God and I joined and committed to the gym 4 times a week. So thank you!!!!
I subscribed to your channel after finding you when looking up how to study the Bible with the soap method. Before I decided to give my life to Christ about 4 months ago I had never picked up a bible so I didn’t know where to start. And I thank God for people like you, who uses your platform to share wisdom to others like myself. Thank you ❤
I found your channel a few months ago. You have truly blessed me. Please continue to let God use you as a vessel!
Your amazing and easily becoming my favorite faith based content creator ! Thanks for all you do to help us understand the Word 🙏
My husband actually sent you my direction. He sent me one video and I’ve been watching since! Thank you for being here💛
I always feel there is a reason and a season for everything... situations and people. The words for such a time as this reflect my thought of the reason and season.
Thanks for sharing this lovely Bible Study Session on the book of Esther! Also, I found your channel about 1-2 years ago when I stumbled upon your Daniel Fast video. May God richly bless you for all you do for the Kingdom of God in Jesus' name.
I found this channel when I made the decision in my walk to control the music and entertainment I was allowing myself to digest. It hasn’t been easy to find genuine God fearing women to build community with, but I truly feel so connected to you whenever I watch your videos. Your positivity is so encouraging and I am so thankful God led me to this channel.
Love this Bible study technique with you sis... really enjoyed it..Pray we run our race and do it peacefully not looking at others and comparing ourselves in Jesus name..God has all of us big and small
Hello, I have been watching your videos for some time. I know it was before you got married and started your beautiful family. Your spirit and how you moved forward with the channel have helped me to understand the Bible more. I also received your purpose pamphlet, and this has helped me to stay more focused on how God is using me and giving me direction for my life. I love how you always reference God showing up in our lives and how we have to learn from these circumstances and experiences. Thank you for just being true to your assignment and not falling to the convictions of the world. Stay blessed.
One of my friends that watches your channel weekly shared one of your videos a few weeks ago and I loved so I subscribed. I have loved all the videos ever since then as well. You are so spiritually gifted!
I found your channel a few years ago but I don’t know how long I’ve actually been subscribed. Last year for me was a year of loss and big changes in life, and your videos always seem to be exactly what I need to hear from God! Thank you for being obedient. ❤
I believe I came across your channel beginning of the year (2023) when I needed it it the most. You are a blessing and I know for a fact that GOD is using you to enlighten us and comfort us ❤
I was going through TH-cam and seen your smile and the title of “God knows right where he want you”. I had not subscribed yet but I did view a couple of sessions and I connected in a clear understandable way of your covering Bible scriptures, I subscribed and tune in every possible chance. Thank you Lady Melody for your softness, wisdom and knowledge of helping me in my walk with the Lord. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family🙏🏽
I am very new to your channel. I was interested in learning God’s word & I found your channel. Thank you for being a servant of God!
In growing my faith stronger this year. You popped up on Homepage as a suggestion (nobody but God) and I truly been a fan of your content ever since.
I found your channel about a year ago, but just recently really started tuning in regularly as I am trying more than ever to keep close to God ❤
Hi Sis! The first video of yours that I came upon was a Daniel fast video. I subscribed after that. I’m loving this Bible Study.🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
God put your channel in my path this summer. Now I listen to one of your videos each day on my way to work. Thank you for your amazing content and letting God use you for His kingdom.
I recently found you in a time of mental health crisis. I really enjoyed your videos. They help me to feel like I am not alone and I have a community. I love the Bible studies as well. ❤
I found your channel back when I began my return to Christ. Your videos have really helped me and provide me reminders of continuing on my journey of getting closer to God. It seems as if every video I watch is right on time. I remember when you had 100,000 subscribers… now look at you! You’re truly doing gods work and I truly appreciate you🌸
I’ve been happy ever since I found your channel I watch your vlogs every Sunday and it brings so much joy I have always been close to the lord but have grown even closer thank you for preaching the word to us and many over the world you truly are a blessing ❤
You are such a beam of light, Stumbled on your channel since the testimony of your Daniel Fast and have been following you since then.
I remember taking a leap of faith and doing a daniel fast in Aug of 2021 that worked for me and though I still had habits to work on myself, the prayer was to find my Joseph (A man I truly admire in the bible and love) so in Jan 2022 I started conversing with a guy who liked me back then in secondary school. I was linked with him through my sis who used to go to the same school as him, they were still in contact.
As we kept getting to know one another on May 2022 we started dating it been wonderful, Christ being the centre of it and I hope will get to the aisle❤
See God🥺🥺He just connected two people from two different Worlds😮😮
@Melodu, you've been of inspiration to me, through your channel I've learnt alot of imperishable things..,I love it because it adds more to my Spiritual life,ever since I joined the Family(two years ago)alot has changed,and I bless the Lord for that
More Grace❤❤❤
I fell in love with your channel over the summer. You have helped tremendously with my walk with god and I use your soap method weekly. Thank you.
I found your channel a few months ago as I started to search for more Godly content in TH-cam. Your channel was recommended to me and I started watching a few of your videos and eventually subscribed. Your videos always come on time when I need a word or encouragement and I can always find something on your channel to get me through something that I’m going through. Thank you❤
I’m new to your channel. One day I was on you tube and I saw one of your post. I was hesitant to click on to hear it because there are so many on here proclaiming God’s word. I was so glad I did. I cried throughout your message. It truly lifted my spirit and day! 10:37
That last verse to me definitely meant that where I am right now I'm supposed to be as for a time as this to do what he's asking me to do and this very moment
Absolutely so grateful that I found your channel here on TH-cam. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago when trying to figure out how to study the Bible. Your method has definitely helped!
M E L O D Y 🎉 Congratssss on hitting this milestone, I have been following for a whileeeee! I found you from your Daniel Fast video from years ago and shared it with others I brought along in my fasting journey. I’ve watched your growth into marriage, motherhood and entrepreneurship, and you are such a reminder of God’s goodness! So proud. The same thing that drew me in then is the same thing that still draws me in today.
Simplicity
Softness
Scripture
Didn’t plan for that alliteration lol - but it’s true! Keep it up, it’s inspiring.
This message from scripture came on a day that started in tears and despair that ultimately resulted in surrendering the fear of where this path will take me. I want the faith of Mordecai and passion of Esther. Thank you for bringing to my remembrance and thank you Lord for the blessing.
Congrats to you sister!! You are truly anointed and the Lord is really speaking through you!! I started watching you a couple months ago when I started following Christ and you have become a part of my weekly routine! I really do appreciate you and everything your doing in the army of God!! Slay sis!!
The TH-cam algorithm introduced me to your channel. Your videos kept appearing on my homepage and one day I stopped resisting and binge-watched a few of your videos that same day.
This is so Awesome! It had me look at myself and my obedience to God and the future husband he has for me. Thank you Melody!😊
I’m so grateful to have found you. God bless you and your knowledge. Your teaches are so important and soapy to understand
I just recently started watching you. It was at a time that I craved more positive and godly content and I ended up coming across your channel :)
I believe your video came up on my home page, the video “you’re uncomfortable for a reason, God is redirecting you” came up & I watched it. This was during a time when I was leaving a toxic job for a new one in a completely different environment. I was definitely uncomfortable with the change, but I knew it was for a purpose & to better my mental health. Thank u for these videos! 💗
Edit: the part where you started talking about everything we’ve been through & we’re at the point where we’re supposed to be brought me to tears… I’m struggling but I’m getting through it, w God of course
I found you early this year while i was searching for ways to study the Bible. In the past i would just read passages and i felt like i was hearing God or getting close to Him. I must say you have been very helpful on my journey. Thank you
Hello Melody! I've been watching your posts for a few years. Your channel has been inspirational.
"For a time this..." means ordered steps, and God is in the details.
Please keep doing what you are doing. You are a BLESSING!
I am a new family member. It's been a month now. I found you when I seacrhed bible study, I wanted inspiration to start my own faith based channel, and I am hooked.
Hi Melody. I found your channel in March of this year (2023). It was a time in my life when a Christian friend of mine told me I wasn’t “Christian enough.” I began having doubts about my own faith and path. I’m not sure how I came across your channel, but know it was miraculous. I needed your videos during that time of my life.
I found your channel a few months ago after finding out I lost my job. I lost my faith you could say a long time ago even though I felt led, I would purposely go against what I felt I should be doing. In 2020 we had our baby girl and I started on this journey of growth. I definitely feel like I was led to your channel seeing as how I had not previously followed anything but documentaries so the allogrithm didn't put you in my view but there has been many a times as I navigate this new transition period where something you said seemed way too on point to be a coincidence ♡ I'm very thankful to have found your channel!!!
I discovered your channel within the last 2 months and its been a blessing. You showed up on my explore page and i had to subscribe!
Greetings, I found your channel a few months ago as I was searching for godly voices. This year has been one of complete change. I am not the same person I was when the year started and I am thankful for it. I really enjoy watching your videos and growing along with you. Thanks so much for sharing!
I found you back in June! Your videos have helped me on my faith journey & I look forward to seeing your videos every week!
I just recently found your channel. I feel God brought me to you and your videos have helped me so much. I hope you continue to post many more. 💓
I found your channel a year ago, when I took a decision to grow my relationship with God and I couldn't read and understand the bible.. So I have learned a lot from your channel and I am still learning. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing. Lately, I've been feeling the same, and I'm glad God delivered you out your fluserations. So will he with me❤❤❤
Hi Melody!! I found your channel through TH-cam recommendations. The video that stood out most to me and my personal journey with God is your goal settings WITH God video. I’m going through a spiritual journey currently so I’ve been watching your videos faithfully now as a tool to get closer to God. How you simply organize the content and put right where we reach it is phenomenal. Thank you for doing Gods work! 💕💕
I found your channel months ago, Jesus showed me one of your videos when I needed it most!!
love it, I stumble across your video this year randomly and was lead in my spirit to watch your video and I subscribed immediately. Love what you are doing. I can relate to this scripture when I remember back in 2010 when the Lord brought me back home to rededicate my life to him and I began to study the word and build a personal relationship with him and in that time I saw God working through me an using me in a mighty way. Praying and evangelism and the Lord spoke to me in that very hour those words for I have called you for such a time as this. I find your videos very encouraging, educational and motivating.😇🥰😇
I believe I found your video within this year- few months.
I did binge and watch a few episodes and subscribe.
I was just really getting on TH-cam and you were one of the first faith based channels I followed and loved 🥰
I live the honestly and I have even recommended and talked about your channel with others.
I found your channel randomly scrolling on TH-cam a few months ago but I know the Holy Spirit led me here 🙏🏾
Heyy Melody! i came across your channel since going through some battles with myself and I found you and gods words so comforting ❤❤
I found your amazing inspiration channel a few months ago and I been drawn to your content every since!❤
Congratulations on your 330K subscribers of the body of Christ. I came across your channel around the first of September if I’m not mistaken. This journey of being a believer and trusting, listening, hearing, and being obedient is not easy and lonely. God told me to leave my job in May of 2022. God has been my provider, salvation, redeemer, teacher, healer. He has set me for such a time as this where we are living in the last days and people are lost in the worldly things and God is calling his people to come out of shadows and go forth with his word. I have been studying, reading, fasting and praying for such as a time as this. I have been asking God for provision to be able to learn his word in different aspects of teaching to his children where they would understand. Keep going girl your channel is inspiring for me to keep seeking God face and he will give me wisdom and knowledge of him for his people. May God continue to fill you up.
Im new i stubbled across your channel when I looked up bible study with me on TH-cam. For a minute i was losing myself, and i spoke to God and I understood that his word is what I need. So here I am😊 I don't have any materials, Im just listening and using a paper n pencil because I'm that determined.
Your channel has been an inspiration to me. So I was going through a BAD time in my life . In the search bar I put … stress and anxiety and your video popped up. ❤️ and very since then it’s been up from there !!
I honestly don’t remember how I stumbled across your page! It’s been a while now. I believe I searched something specific about the Bible or a word and your video popped up. And when I clicked on your video, I was like oh yea, I’m subscribing! Lol. Now I’m starting to get closer to God again, I’m definitely coming to watch your videos! ❤
Hey Mel!! I don't remember when I started watching your videos 🤔
I just trusted after listening 1x to you speak about the Bible and following and believing in our Father you were meant to be a part of my faith walk and journey in this way 🙏🏽 I appreciate you being gentle and careful with your sharing sis. It's needed ❤
Congrats on the 330 followers! I am a 52 year old newbie on your channel. God let me to your page when I was searching for Bible studies and Christian content of encouragement. I was going through a very difficult season during the summer. He spoke through you, and I look forward to Mondays to have my me time with this channel! Thank you for being obedient to your calling! God bless you and your family!
I saw your page a while aback but only recently started viewing again. Definitely this SOAP Method is something l can apply to my Bible study life. Keep teaching others how to get closer to God. You definitely came to the TH-cam channel for a time like this giving us an example that we truly need to improve our spiritual life.
