Esther 3
Today's Scripture

Today's passage is a rather bleak one to read. Maybe as you read Esther 3, you feel you are in a similar position--perhaps your people are not threatened with annihilation, but maybe you are about to lose a job, a relationship, your health, or your financial security. There are plenty of Haman's in the world who would love to squash those beneath them so they can attain higher status.

But the story of Esther is not over yet--and neither is the story of our lives. God can work in incredible ways through tragedy if we put our trust in him. What others mean for evil, God can work for good. Let's ask him who sees the big picture to help us as we struggle within our limited framework. Let's trust him to hold us up and see us through whatever we are facing in life.
