Like Queen Esther!

The Lord hides Himself and does all things behind the scenes in the Book of Esther. When I came across a message regarding this book, I saw my own life being with no mention of God, or I cannot talk about Him with anyone around me now. Many souls, I know don't know the true God, the God who create this earth and universe. While writing this, my heart feels burdened of the dying souls around me, at the same time I'm certain about my Lord's coming to take me away. I have my loved ones who do not know our Lord, that makes me compressed by some sort of burden, which no one know. The cry inside and burden for unsaved souls makes me write this.

My life is like Queen Esther, who is lifted high above in one day with no reason in front.  Her name is Hadassah, she is an orphan, her parents died, and her uncle Mordecai takes care after their death. When she is brought to the King's palace, she is instructed by Mordecai not to reveal about her race or parentage to anyone. 

Like a secret inside that young girl, I need to live the same without revealing everything about the Almighty. Even though she is an Israelite, she lives not in Israel but as a captive in the land of Persia, where they do not know the true God of the whole universe. Persians do all kind of idol worships and pagan sacrifices, even eat unclean things, which is an abomination for the Israelites.

This young girl do not know why she is there in an unwanted place but God has great plans for her. When I pray or fast alone and there is no one to accompany me, I feel like I'm in Babylon or Persia, where people do not the Creator but go after idols gods, thinking those idols will redeem their souls from this world. But no one is ready to know the true God.

Human soul is designed to search the Living God. That's why they have a lot of questions to ask and search for. Searching will reveal the the truth. The true knowledge of God is Wisdom and that will set you free from all the things of this world pulling you back. And when you know the truth, you cannot be quiet. Even if you are quiet enough, your life will reveal it. 

Like Queen Esther is the one picked in midst of those beautiful girls of Persia. She gets the favor even in the eyes of the chief in the palace, she bypassed everyone to that position of becoming a queen. I won't say this is all because she is beautiful or clever. But because the Lord's eyes are upon her and He has a plan for her life.

Yes, He uses her to destroy the evil plan of Haman from wiping the whole race of the Jews from the 127 countries reigned by the King Ahasuerus. Not just only by being a queen, but she keeps her life at stake to redeem her people. By doing that, she has gotten what she is expecting, Yes, the Jews are protected from evil Haman's plans and the King's decree is also reversed, which is never done before in Persian empire.

This great step made by Esther protected the lives of all the Jews and evil Haman is punished, killed by the King's order, and the Jews celebrated their victory and protection as Festival of Purim.

Love this always what is told by Mordecai to Esther: “Don’t suppose that merely because you happen to be in the royal palace you will escape any more than the other Jews. For if you fail to speak up now, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from a different direction; but you and your father’s family will perish. Who knows whether you didn’t come into your royal position precisely for such a time as this.”

 My situation is like the above, as the Lord is coming soon and the rapture- that's He is going to take away all His bride- us- to be with Him always and others are left behind. I'm writing this for all of them who don not know the Lord. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus Christ! I'm waiting for you!
