Est 4:1, When Mordecai learned all that had happened, HE TORE HIS CLOTHES AND PUT ON SACKCLOTH AND ASHES … HE CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD AND BITTER CRY.
Mordecai knew it was because of him that the decree to kill all the Jews went out in the first place! But once written it cannot be changed!
Est 1:19, … and let it be recorded in the laws of the PERSIANS AND THE MEDES, SO THAT IT WILL NOT BE ALTERED
We should always be in communion with the LORD thru prayer Especially in times of trouble! HE IS OUR FATHER WHO LOVES US AND IS WILLING TO HELP US IF WE ASK!
Est 4:11, “… know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, WHO HAS NOT BEEN CALLED, HE HAS BUT ONE LAW: PUT ALL TO DEATH, EXCEPT THE ONE TO WHOM THE KING HOLDS OUT THE GOLDEN SCEPTER, that he may live. …
WHAT HAS THE LORD CALLED YOU TO DO? ESTHER WAS NOW IN A POSITION TO HELP HER PEOPLE, YET SHE WAS PLACED THERE BY THE LIVING GOD FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!
Psa 75:7, BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.
Est 4:14, FOR IF YOU REMAIN COMPLETELY SILENT AT THIS TIME, RELIEF AND DELIVERANCE WILL ARISE FOR THE JEWS FROM ANOTHER PLACE, but you and your father’s house will perish. YET WHO KNOWS WHETHER YOU HAVE COME TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?”
Mordecai trust was in the faithfulness of GOD, not in Esther. Man is easily pushed from side to side, BUT THE LORD IS OUR STEADFAST ROCK AND HIS PROMISES ARE FAITHFUL!
2Ti 2:13, IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL; HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF.
HE HAS A PLAN FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF US, TRUST IN HIM! THERE IS A REASON HE HAS YOU WHERE YOUR AT NOW!
Jer 29:11, FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU, SAYS THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE.
