Esther, Born for Such a Time as ThisNäide

The Jews were placed in a negative light by Haman. He stirred up anger and hatred against them by turning King Ahasuerus' people against them to the point that they wanted to kill them. God prevented this and turned the situation around, but He didn’t just turn it around. God also used Mordecai's position to care for and prosper His people.

When God turns something around, He does it well. He even improves the situation. God has a plan that is so much richer, better, and much more beautiful than we can imagine.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9

Prayer: Lord, Your ways are so much more than I can comprehend! And thanks to the book of Esther, I can trust that You are capable of turning situations around and even change them for the better, even beyond what I can imagine! You are more than I can dream of. I want to seek You and I know that it starts simply, like a children’s song puts it: "read your Bible, pray every day, if you want to grow."
