Pillars of the Faith: Esther
Date: Sunday, July 18, 2010
Pastor Mark Kraft
Esther’s bravery and faith in God are a testament to the trust this young woman had in the living God. She is a lesson in God’s sovereignty over His creation. He maneuvers every aspect of life to position people, governments, and situations for His plan and purpose. We may never know what God is doing, but a time might come when we realize why we have gone through certain experiences, or met certain people, or lived in certain areas, or shopped in certain stores, or taken certain trips, until the instant when everything comes together, and we look back and see that we too were put in that moment of time, just as Esther. She was put into a harem… “…for such a time as this…” she was given to a king…”…for such a time as this…” and she was strengthened and prepared to intercede for her people…”…for such a time as this…” (Esther 4:14).
Esther is truly a reminder of God’s promise, as written in Romans 8:28: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to [His] purpose.”
