Esther 8-10 -- God's Protection & Care

Haman’s order to exterminate all of the Jews could not be rescinded, but Haman had been defeated.  So how does God work that out?  By having King Xerxes issue a second letter giving the Jewish people the right to defend themselves and even take the offensive to remove all their enemies – even those who weren’t actively attacking.  Their families could be slaughtered and their possessions taken.  Now that was a deal!  Just when all seemed hopeless, God stepped in!



Father, thank You for the sure knowledge we have that You will always step in when we are in Your will.  By refusing to use the tactics of Satan and by abiding by biblical principles, we are under Your protection, and You’ve promised to honor us and protect us.  Thank You for Your faithfulness, Father!



Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
