Key Verse: Verse 16 - “So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.”
Key Words: So Esther was taken unto King Ahasuerus
Most everyone knows the story of Queen Esther and how she was chosen by the king to be his bride because of her beauty. We know of the conflict between Haman and Mordecai, and how Mordecai, Esther’s uncle, had her intercede for all the Jewish people with King Ahasuerus. No doubt Esther was a part of God’s plan for his people for such a time as this. It was no accident that she was the king’s sweetheart.
Oftentimes it is not the faith of both sweethearts that sees them through difficult times, but the faith in God of just one of them that makes a difference for all. This certainly would have been one of those times where one’s faith could easily fail.
A man fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a tree limb on the way down. The following conversation ensued:
“Is anyone up there?”
“I am here. I am the Lord. Do you believe me?”
“Yes, Lord, I believe. I really believe, but I can’t hold on much longer.”
“That’s all right, if you really believe you have nothing to worry about. I will save you. Just let go of the branch.”
A moment of pause, then: “Is anyone else up there?”
Praise God Esther didn’t say is anyone else up there!! If you married in God’s will then God has you where He wants you “for such a time as this.” So have faith in God.
