God is not mentioned anywhere in the Book of Esther. Still, He was there in the lives of His chosen people. Despite their captivity, God placed Esther where she needed to be at the right time. He blessed her with the king's favor and chose her as his queen.
God was working behind the scenes. In a fallen world of all kinds of evil - deceit, greed, envy, godlessness, God is still at work behind the scenes. We may not be able to see the tapestry He is weaving, but He is certainly at work in the lives of His chosen people. Jesus died for the sins of the world. His sacrifice reveals that each of us is chosen to be His child. He works behind the scenes to rescue us as He calls us to obedience. Still, it is our decision whether or not we respond in obedience. Esther did. Do I? Do we? ...Will you? God uses our obedience to rescue His people. - Even when we can't see Him working ...behind the scenes. Thank you God for Your moving Spirit working behind the scenes in my life.
