Esther 9, from Mourning to Joy

Est 9:2-3, The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, BECAUSE FEAR OF THEM FELL UPON ALL PEOPLE. And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and all those doing the king’s work, helped the Jews, BECAUSE THE FEAR OF MORDECAI FELL UPON THEM.

Deu 2:25, … I WILL BEGIN TO PUT THE DREAD AND FEAR OF YOU UPON THE NATIONS UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, WHO SHALL HEAR THE REPORT OF YOU, AND SHALL TREMBLE AND BE IN ANGUISH BECAUSE OF YOU.’ 

The LORD can put a thought in their head, and fear their hearts! YET BELIEVERS IN HIM SHOULD NEVER FEAR BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US A DIFFERENT SPIRIT!

2Ti 1:7, FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND. 

Est 9:22, as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month WHICH WAS TURNED FROM SORROW TO JOY FOR THEM, AND FROM MOURNING TO A HOLIDAY;

Whatever situation that were in HE can change it for good! REMEMBER JOSEPH!

Gen 50:20, BUT AS FOR YOU, YOU MEANT EVIL AGAINST ME; BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

Psa 30:5, …WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING. 

We are limited in our thoughts and understanding, yet HE KNOWS ALL. We may not know why something has happened but HE can change use anything to HIS gain! HAVE FAITH IN TIMES OF TROUBLE FOR HE IS ALWAYS WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF!

Rom 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 

Psa 30:11-12, YOU HAVE TURNED FOR ME MY MOURNING INTO DANCING; YOU HAVE PUT OFF MY SACKCLOTH AND CLOTHED ME WITH GLADNESS, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD MY GOD, I WILL GIVE THANKS TO YOU FOREVER.
