For we are sold, I and my people (the Jews)
to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish.
Esther 7:4a
God is faithful to always make a way of deliverance for His people...
to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish.
Esther 7:4a
God is faithful to always make a way of deliverance for His people...
Once upon a time, when forced to live in captivity, a series of events happened which allowed a young Jewish slave woman, Esther, to be elevated to Queen under King Ahasuerus.
The king, as the story goes, was taken in by Esther’s beauty and gracefulness, and he did not know she was a Jewess.
At this time, too, an evil and prideful man, Haman, who had recently been promoted to a very high rank of leadership by Ahaseurus, wanted to have the king issue an order for all the Jews living in the empire to be put to death.
When Esther’s uncle Mordecai got wind of this treacherous plot, he informed her about it. She, in turn, takes it upon herself to cautiously approach the king. She had a plan worked out to hopefully save her people.
Fortunately, Esther was allowed to approach the king. She won his favor, and her request that the Jews be spared was granted. Meanwhile, Haman, the once who plotted all this, was hung from the gallows.
Esther, as the story reveals, was placed by God into her royal position for such a time. And God, I believe, is doing the same today. His plans are being worked out for good, whether we could see His hands at work, or not.
