Day 266: Esther 1-5

An interesting fact about this book: No name, title, or pronoun for God appears in it. This caused some church fathers to question its inclusion in the canon. But God's presence is clear throughout the book. It is a story of the profound interplay of God's sovereignty and human will.

I love the verse that is probably the most famous from this book: 4:14. "And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" That same line could be said to all of us in so many situations. God places us in circumstances and places for specific purposes....His purposes. It is up to us to be tuned in and to ACT!

I am loving the drama as it unfolds....can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.
