Lessons from Esther
September 26, 2022
In uncertain times, even frightening times, we can learn valuable lessons from the book of Esther. Short, dramatic, yet filled with evidence of God’s providence. God has a plan for us no matter the unlikely circumstances.
Esther’s world, queen of the Achaemenid Empire, was led by a king who was easily influenced by others. He was not a man of faith, a seeming mismatch in marriage, but Esther’s Jewish reality was a secret. God had a plan. Esther’s position saved the Jewish people in her country from death.
Take courage. Our nation can yet experience a revival of faith in God. He has allowed our unique nation to thrive. Even with our biblical foundation, We are moving away from God. Is our future secure? No. But God’s providence is yet possible.
