If there's ever been a story written for someone's difficult and dark place in life, it would be this story the book of Esther. God doesn't just sit passive on his throne when the people of God turn to him with all their heart and passion in great need.
A wicked man Haman had demised a plan to kill all the Jews. He connived in ways that were deceptive and destructive to kill all Jews in 127 providences. How would the Jews escape this dark plan of destruction?
It wasn't by chance that God had chose Esther to be the new queen of Persia. Was it her beauty, her talents, her smile, her demeanor that caused her to rise to the top?
God wasn't surprised when Haman came up with his demise to destroy all the Jews. He had a person in place named Esther that was chosen to make a difference with the enemies plot. Haman had great hate and anti-Semitism against the Jews. He hated Mordecai who refused to bow to him and plotted to rid himself of every Jew.
It so happen that an assassination attempt was being planned to kill the king, Mordecai heard of it and went and told Esther. As she reported the information to the king, the plot was stopped and the men were taken out and hung.
The king was up reading one night and so happens to read where Mordecai had saved his life, stopping the plot of these evil men. He asks, "What was ever done to Mordecai for saving my life?" The response was "Nothing was ever done. Haman who was in the king's court was ask, "What should be done to the man who the king wants to honor?" Haman thinking he wanted to honor him said, "I would parade him up and down the streets on the kings apparel and his horse." The king said, "Go and show honor to Mordecai."
Was God already at work for the Jews deliverance? Was God already working behind the scenes? Never give up friend in your darkest hour. Never under estimate the power of the hand of God to turn any situation around. Esther had ask her people to fast and pray for 3 days believing for a breakthrough.
The bigger question today is this, what am I doing to see a breakthrough? Am I being proactive with my own prayers and fasting in my darkest hour? God is no respecter of persons, He doesn't play favorites, and He does see and hear the cry of our hearts.
This story isn't over just yet and neither is yours. Never give up in your darkest hour. God can turn any mess into a miracle, He can turn your darkness into a powerful deliverance, He can turn this test into a awesome testimony. Ask today, what am I doing to see it happen?
