Share a commentHave you ever wondered if God is working behind the scenes in your life? The book of Esther is a powerful reminder that His plans are always unfolding, even when He seems silent. In this episode, you’ll discover how a pagan king’s foolish decisions set the stage for Esther’s rise to power and God’s preservation of His people. But Esther’s story isn’t one of perfect faithfulness; far from it. Both Esther and Mordecai make choices that seem more about survival than godliness. Yet God still works through them, proving that He doesn’t require perfect people to accomplish His perfect plan. This episode challenges you to examine your own faithfulness while finding hope in God’s unchanging sovereignty. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, compromise, or fear, be encouraged. God is moving in your life, even when you can’t see Him.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback Learn more at https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
