Esther

 

Esther

Esther was a Jewess who married a Gentile. Her story is a classic struggle between good and evil. It’s a book about God’s sovereignty and His deliverance. God is not mentioned in this book, but His presence is unmistakable.

God remembers His promises to Israel and orchestrates events to protect His people. Haman is a good example of one who curses Israel will be cursed.

Only God could raise Esther, this female Jewish exile to a position of authority in a culture that valued neither women nor Jews.

Mordecai and Esther exercised courage, took risks, employed wisdom, and were thoroughly engaged in events of their day. Refusing to remain paralyzed by fear or lulled to sleep by indifference, they seized the opportunities God provided them. It is what enabled them to be in the right place at the right time, so that God’s will could be accomplished for them and for the Jewish people.

God is in control, and there are still victories to be won. He intends to use our steps of faith to accomplish those plans.
