Faithful and Fearless: Lesson 5/Day 2 Esther 4:1-9
#dwellingrichly #lmccwomen #biblestudy
While Susa and 127 other provinces were in fear and fasting for God to deliver them from their fate, where was God? While Mordecai was messaging, Esther and Hathach were explaining it all, where was God? Consider that question right now as you think about the trial you are going through. Where is God when we’re panicking like the Jews in Persia? Where is He when we’re mourning like Mordecai? Clueless like the king? Distressed like Esther? Is He drumming His fingers waiting for all the people and circumstances to come together? Is He holding out until we pray the right prayer? Fast enough? Mourn loudly enough? I don’t think so. I think God is right there with us in the panic, the mourning, the fasting, and fear. David wrote, “The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.” He is not far. He’s close. He’s ready. Trust and wait for his timing. While you wait, it’s ok to mourn, cry, even fast. Beg for His favor, plead with Him to bring your answer, and trust Him to do it according to His will.
