Esther: The Providence of God, pt. 5 - Noble Esther

Esther risks her life to save others. But throughout the entirety of this book, we see God preparing her for this moment. And so it shouldn’t be any surprise that it works in her favor.This moment shows both the continued providence of God as well as the power of prayer and fasting. While we may be fearful of approaching earthly kings, we never have to be afraid of approaching God. While earthly kings often withhold good fortune in favor of self-preservation and glorification, we serve a God who delights in answering prayers.What man so often plans to show his own might, God uses instead to glorify himself. Men can scheme and plan and prepare all day long, but the Lord has the final say in all.
