Esther 1:1–2:7
Did you know God can accomplish His purposes even through something as small as an argument?
The book of Esther opens in the royal courts of Persia, where King Ahasuerus hosted lavish feasts and Queen Vashti refused his command (Esther 1:1–2:7). Her defiance sparked a chain of events, directed by God, that positioned a young Jewish woman named Esther for consideration as queen.
Neither Esther nor Ahasuerus realized the greater plan unfolding. Pastor Chuck Swindoll invites you to see how God works in life’s ordinary and unexpected moments, accomplishing His purposes even when His presence seems hidden from view.
