Esther 10, HIS Providence!

Est 10:3, FOR MORDECAI THE JEW WAS SECOND TO KING AHASUERUS, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, SEEKING THE GOOD OF HIS PEOPLE AND SPEAKING PEACE TO ALL HIS COUNTRYMEN.

Mordecai came from nothing to be second in command of Persia. Like Joseph, who was sold as a slave to Egypt and became second in command of the land!

Psa 75:6-7, For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.

And the story ends without the mention of GOD’s name, Yet we clearly see the work of HIS hands!

IT WASN’T MERE LUCK that Queen Vashti lost her position. IT WASN’T LUCK that Esther won a beauty contest and made Queen in Vashti’s place! IT WASN’T JUST COINCIDENCE that Mordecai heard of the plot to kill the king!

In a sleepless night GOD ARRANGED king Ahasuerus to read a book of records only to find that Mordecai wasn’t honored for saving the kings life!  

Spurgeon said “ESTHER IS A BOOK OF WONDERS WITHOUT A MIRACLE”, FOR GOD WORKS SUPERNATURALLY IN THE NATURAL!

Psa 77:14, YOU ARE THE GOD WHO DOES WONDERS; YOU HAVE DECLARED YOUR STRENGTH AMONG THE PEOPLES.

AS BELIEVERS WE SHOULD NEVER ATTRIBUTE ANYTHING TO LUCK FOR GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING ON OUR BEHALF! WE DON’T NEED TO SEE A MIRACLE HAPPEN JUST TO SAY THAT WAS FROM THE LORD; FOR HE ARRANGES EVERYTHING AROUND US! DO YOU KNOW YOUR GOD, HIS POWER HIS STRENGTH?

Dan 11:32b, … BUT THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG, AND CARRY OUT GREAT EXPLOITS. 

Exo 33:14, And HE said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 

Joh 21:25, AND THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT JESUS DID, WHICH IF THEY WERE WRITTEN ONE BY ONE, I SUPPOSE THAT EVEN THE WORLD ITSELF COULD NOT CONTAIN THE BOOKS THAT WOULD BE WRITTEN. AMEN.
