| The name “God” does not appear in the book of Esther, but the providence and care of God is evident on every page. The nation of Israel was threatened with annihilation, but this could never happen with God on the throne and in full control. In the shadows, God had Mordecai, a man of faith, and Esther, a godly young woman, available, “for such a time as this.” |
| Both Esther and Mordecai had humble backgrounds, but they became instrumental in God’s plan of deliverance. Our background doesn’t matter to God. What He is looking for today are committed believers. Those who have a love for Himself and for His people. Those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the blessing of others. He is looking for those that He can transform into faithful servants, who, like Isaiah, are willing to say, “Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:8). Are you one of those young people that are willing to give yourself in sacrifice to the Lord and to your fellow-believers? |
