walking in the same way as He walked!
persistent presence
The progression of Esther tells the story of God’s persistent presence and provision for His people. I’m completely in awe of God. If Esther and Mordecai had not made themselves available to be placed where they were, they would’ve missed the opportunity to glorify God and save His people. God is faithful always (see what I did there?) but we also have to be faithful to him. Even when He feels absent. He is working in our lives and remaining faithful to His promises even when we are living in the midst of exile.
purpose in your placement
Wherever you are right now, you aren’t there by accident. There is a purpose in your placement. God may feel far away or maybe even non-existent, but I can promise you He is right with you. God used Mordecai and Esther to save all of the Jewish people (spoiler alert), yet Esther and Mordecai were not perfect people.
