For Such a Time as This (Back to product)

Home » Christian Living   For Such a Time as This If you were on the church council in the days of early church history and were trying to decide whether the Book of Esther should be included in the cannon of Scripture, how would you have voted? Esther is certainly a unique book in the divine library of Books called the Bible. It is the only book in all of the Bible where there is no direct reference to God. There is also no mention of religious terms such as prayer, worship, etc., in the entire book. And yet, though God is nowhere mentioned in the book of Esther, he is present and working everywhere in the book. Behind each scene in the Book of Esther you can see the shadow of the Almighty directing from the wings. Although we never actually hear or see God in the story, we have an overwhelming sense of confidence that He is just off-stage, cuing the characters and orchestrating the drama to preserve His people from a tragic ending. The Book of Esther is often like the dramas played out in our lives. Seldom when enemies are on our heels are our Red Seas parted. Seldom when disaster is at our door are we warned by angelic visitors. Seldom when we are in need of direction are we instructed God from a burning bush. And neither was Esther. It is easy to see God in the miraculous, but it is not so easy to see Him in the mundane. However, that is where most of us live. We live without seeing handwriting on the wall or hearing thunder from Sinai. We live without God at center stage, but with God directing unobtrusively from the wings of our lives. This is all the more reason why we need to be sensitive to God’s voice; so we can be aware and attentive to the subtle ways in which He works. No book will sharpen our spiritual senses more than the Book of Esther.   Choose Format:: Please Select...Ebook Softcover (+$3.96)   Price: $6.99   « Previous | Next »
