Lucky or Ordained by God! Part 2

Happy Wednesday! It has been a great week so far! 

When I think of Esther, I have a vision of a beautiful princess such as the princesses we see in all the movies. The story of Esther is packed full of intrigue and mystery. Who doesn’t like a great mystery?

In Monday’s blog we read how Esther gained favor with all in the palace and eventually became the queen. The story does not end there. In fact, there is a plot to kill the king, the Jewish people, and Mordecai. Again, Esther is thrust right in the middle of God’s plan. 

Let’s get to it! 

Haman was the bad guy and he wanted to kill all the Jews. Esther is secretly hiding that she is a Jew. Esther knows that she must talk to the king but before she does, she fasts for three days while others prayed and fasted as well. Mordecai uncovered a plan to kill the king and told Esther. 

Had Esther not have been the queen, the Jewish people would have been killed as well as the King. Esther 4:14 says, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

Esther was not there by luck. She was ordained by God “for such a time as this.” God is sovereign even when your life doesn’t make sense. 

To find out the ending to the story of Esther, please take the time to read the book of Esther in the Bible. 

Ladies, you have been ordained by God “for such a time as this.” God has a great plan for your life. We are not lucky! We are blessed by God! 

Have a blessed day and thank you for reading my blog!
