Faithful and Fearless: Lesson 4/Day 5 Esther 2:1-4

Faithful and Fearless: Lesson 4/Day 5 Esther 2:1-4

#dwellingrichly #lmccwomen #biblestudy

We haven’t met her yet, and in the timeline of this story she has no idea what is about to happen, but Esther’s life will change forever in a few short verses. What about your life right now? Is it possible that God is working behind the scenes to bring together people and events – even moods and mindsets – for a turn in your life? Of course, it is! For those who believe in the sovereignty of God, the truth of His grand will should be a great comfort. Is it to you? David reminds us beautifully, “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you”(Ps 33). Let that be your hope today. God is on the move, and He is good to those who seek Him.

...Culture & Context...

Chapter two begins with “after these things” (ESV) or “awhile later” which is vague in the reading, however, a lot has happened. Ahasuerus is back in Persia after an infamously unsuccessful campaign against the Greeks at Thermopylae  which was fictionalized in the movie and comic books “300.”
