A Journey Through The Book of Esther: Part Nine



Hey there!

Oh wow! The journey has been AMAZING! Amazing is one word I cannot stop using when talking about the book of Esther. I really cannot get over the experience of studying this book. If you are just joining this journey, please endeavor to catch up on parts 1-8 so that you don’t miss out on the fun and blessings! My utmost and continuous desire is that you will be blessed by these lessons and most of all be challenged to act on them. I also urge you to read the chapters from your Bible so that you may gain better insight into the story of Esther as we continue this journey together.

 

Esther 9: This is the story of how the Jews defended themselves and the beginning of the feast of Purim. 

Lessons:

Vs 1-3: God always turns around evil plan against his children to their advantage. Those who try to harm God’s people will become afraid of them.
Vs 3: God can use those in higher authority to help me.
Vs 4: With God there is no demotion; it is higher ground on to higher ground!
Vs 7: Haman’s sons lost their lives for his cause. Lives depend on the decisions I make. They have far reaching effects.
Vs 5-16: God intercepted the evil plans of Haman and they ended up backfiring on the people he has instructed to kill the Jews. When God is involved in my matter, no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
Vs 20-31: God always protects his people and I must never forget how he has delivered me from my enemies. I must keep the testimonies going from generation to generation. Testimonies are reminders of God’s enduring faithfulness towards his own.

The lessons today are short and brief, but serve as reminders to me as a child of God. I hope you are blessed.

In Christ,
Ishanpepe.
