Esther: Providence to God’s People
Today’s Reading: Esther
Focal Verse: Esther 4:14b
“Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.”
God can provide for His people. He is not limited by time or space. He created all and He can use all to complete His purposes.
Esther was one of those He used. God uniquely placed Esther in a position of power to prevent the annihilation of His people. Worldly circumstances looked bleak, but God is not limited by worldly circumstances.
Esther was one of God’s people, but what about those who don’t belong to Him? God can use them also. In Ezra 6:22a it says, “…for the LORD made them joyful, and turned the heart of the King of Assyria toward them…”. Also Ezra 7:27a says, “…Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart…”. God can turn the hearts of kings and governments.
Your circumstances may look bleak to you, but you can have joy and peace in the midst of them. After all, you have God – a God not limited by this world, and a God who longs to give you grace in your hour of need.
If you live in a country where you are free to worship God,
say a prayer of thanksgiving.
God may want to use you to provide for someone else’s hour of need.
Are you available?
