Year of the Bible: Part Six of Twelve Pavyzdys

Boo, Hiss!

When the story of Esther is recalled in today's Jewish gatherings, every time the name of Haman is mentioned, the audience cries out, "Boo! Hiss!"

The story of Esther is not "just a story." It is a clear analogy of the entire experience of each of us who have been called into a relationship with God through Jesus. There is a strategy of the enemies of God to destroy—to annihilate—His chosen people. However, God has a strategy to not only protect us from those evil plans but to destroy the works of those evil plans completely. When evil raises its ugly head, we can boo and hiss because Jesus has overcome all the works of the devil on our behalf.

Question: Read the following scriptures and then meditate (think on them). How does God's word apply to the strategies of the evil ones?

Prayer: When you encounter opposition, pray, and fast if needed. Ask The Holy Spirit what His plans are for your rescue and deliverance. He will answer you, and peace will be your confidence.
