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.”
Be sure to join me for the next day in our “Faithful and Fearless” lesson!
