The Book of Esther describes Haman's evil plot to destroy the Jewish…

The Book of Esther…
It recounts Haman's evil plot to destroy the Jewish people.
… Esther, being Jewish… If she had kept her Jewish identity a secret…
There would have been no problem… 😓
… However, her fellow Jews were destined to be massacred.
… Esther… rather than remain silent in the royal palace 😥
She decided to risk her life to stop her people (the Jews) from being destroyed❗️.
… If the king had not listened to Esther… Esther herself… would have been destroyed…
… Only Esther could save the Jews.
… She realized that God had given her the position of queen in a foreign land of low status… in order to help the Jews.
… After this, God… made a great reversal, the Jews triumphed, and the anti-Jewish Haman and his family were destroyed.

…In life…😢
There are many times when we don't understand, "Why am I going through this now?"
But the Book of Esther teaches us that each event is prepared at the perfect time.
The rest is up to us, whether we have the courage to fulfill the role given to us at that moment.
Ecclesiastes 3:11.

"For all that God has done, it is beautiful in its time."

Shalom 😀
