When Ezri returns to the castle, she faces the difficult task of revealing the truth about Chancellor Drelthor’s betrayal. Though weary and burdened by all she has endured, she courageously stands before Queen Lysandra and shares the hard news. The queen’s grief is heavy, but together they prepare to face the coming trials with strength and resolve.
In life, there are moments when telling the truth or standing for what is right can feel overwhelming—especially when the consequences are painful or disappointing. Like Ezri, we are called to be courageous and faithful, even when it means carrying heavy burdens. God promises to be near to those who trust Him and gives us strength to endure. He honors our faithfulness and uses us to bring hope and light in the darkest times.
Key Verse
