“For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus,” Esther 10:3a
As you read through the Book of Esther, the one Overriding Theme that occurs again and again is, The Sovereignty of God. If you are just a fair and objective reader, you come away with the sense that “Something Truly Amazing” was going on behind the scenes in this Story! As I said in my Posts the last couple of days, it’s like a Movie!!!
And yet, believe it or not, the Name of God is never mentioned once! In the last verse of this Book, which is Today’s Verse, we are told something that NO ONE would have believed at the beginning. For all practical purposes, Haman, that Satan-like Character, looked like the clear winner and victor. And the Jews, the certain losers! But look how quickly the tables turned and who is left standing in the end!
We are living in similar times today. Things look So Dark and victory so certain for our Enemy. The Ungodly seem to dominate and hold unlimited Power! But remember this story and let its Truth permeate our souls; “Our God Reigns” and has everything under His Control!!!
