Week 3 - Closing

Another week has come and gone. It is my prayer that we are all learning from this study and finding something in it that relates to us.

What has really stuck out with me this week is today's lesson. While the whole kingdom was upset, Haman and Xerxes took time out to have drinks. The king was too naive to realize the scope of destruction he had agreed to, while Haman was too vindictive to care.

When someone has done wrong, it is not our place to judge them. We have a God who knows everything we've said, thought and done. God will judge those who need punished. Those who seem to "get away with murder" here on earth, figuratively if not literally, will see God one day and endure His wrath.

We need to have peace in knowing God is in control. No matter the situation, He knows about it and is taking care of it.

In this case, God is going to use Esther to get the Jews out of the situation they are in. What can one woman do? I can't wait to find out during next week's lesson. I hope you join me!
