Esther - A Man and a Woman for Such a Time As This - I&O Workbook (ESV)

Haman, the enemy of the Jews, seemed successful in his scheme to get rid of Mordecai. He only had to wait for that day to come. The decree issued, he sat down to drink with the king while the whole city was in confusion. As for Mordecai, he walked through the city in sackcloth and ashes, wailing loudly and bitterly. It didn’t look good for the survival of the Jews. They may have been asking, where is God in this crisis? Have you ever waited and wondered where God was in the silence? Perhaps you were praying for healing, searching for a change in circumstances, or just wondered if a loved-one was alright. Where was God during that time? We see the answer in Esther, the precious book of God’s faithfulness to His people. Throughout this book we see God working out the circumstances of life to fulfil His purpose. Esther attained royalty to fulfil God's purpose in her life and the lives of His people. What is your purpose? Can God use you "for such a time as this"?
