Esther Spoke and God Answered

Esther did not keep silent. She devised a plan to approach the king and found favor in his sight. She revealed the plot against the Jews and told the king that Haman was the wicked man who thought up the plot. Haman was hanged on his own gallows made for Esther's uncle, Mordecai. Then, when Esther spoke up a second time, the king gave her and Mordecai the authority to write a decree to save the Jews in his name and to seal it with his ring, so that it could not be revoked. (Esther 8:3,8) No human being could have even thought up such a perfect way to stop Haman's evil plan and save the Jews.

I hope and pray that you have found that God is fully trustworthy. When we step out in faith to trust Him and to do what He has led us to do, He will always come through in a wonderful way. It may not be the way we would have done it, but His way is always the best. Therefore, we must not sit back in silence. We must pray and act, expecting God will honor our prayers and faith. Then, we can step back and see His will being done in the best way possible.

Tomorrow, I intend to read Esther 9-10 and Job 1.
