Series Information
When everything is lost and can’t be found, He is still working to turn the plans of the
enemy upside down. Esther is a unique book that highlights the work of God behind the
scenes at all times. When all seems lost, God has never lost. Although no mention of
God is found in Esther, His hand is in every detail. God never stops working, despite
what we can or can’t see. When things are a mess, and the pull of the world is strong,
He is stronger. God never stops working in our life, despite what we have or haven’t
done. The story invites us to see that God works in the mess and moral ambiguity of
human history, using the faithfulness of even morally compromised people to
accomplish his purposes. The book of Esther asks us to trust in God’s providence even
when we can’t see it working. That requires a posture of hope, to believe that, no matter
how horrible things get, God is committed to redeeming his good world and overcoming
evil. That’s what the story of Esther is all about.
