Dear Reader,
The Biblical story of Esther introduces us to an orphan child who grew up to become queen in one of the worlds largest kingdoms during the reign of King Xerxes in 483 B.C.
Few people ascend a royal throne who are not of royal blood, but Esthers accession came about because of the angry, impulsive and evil desires of both the King and his royal advisors.
This story delivers on every level, as we read of intrigue, conspiracy, manipulation and dishonour. All of which propel Esther and Mordecai into a state of total dependence upon the God of Israel. We witness Mordecai displaying profound grief for his nation and Esther driven to the place of prayer and self-sacrifice.
Although God is not mentioned throughout the Book of Esther in our Bibles, it is impossible to read the story and fail to recognize His fingerprints.
As you read this book may your mind be alert to the work of God in each of the characters, so that this may overflow into your own life with the realisation that He is also at work in you, perfecting those things which He purposed in eternity past.
If the wind suddenly changes and you are turned in a different direction - fear not
God is still in control
If the circumstances look bleak and you feel crushed on every side - fear not
God is still in control
If your heart is breaking and the path before you is dark - fear not
God is still in control
If you are in doubt about anything, cannot work it out or feel confused- fear not
God is still in control
