Esther
3:15 “….. the city of Shushan was perplexed.”
Esther
was an orphan. She was taken care by a man named Mordecai. Bibles says Mordecai
took her as his own daughter. God raised Esther as the Queen in the kingdom of
Ahasuerus.
You
might be also living a life like an orphan. You might have lost your father or
mother or both. You might have your parents but yet you might live like an
orphan for they don’t care about you at all. Do not worry about your future.
God
who raised Esther as a queen will also raise you to a highest position in the
society you are living in. Surely God will do mighty things in your life.
As
Esther found grace and favor in the sight of King Ahasuerus, he raised her as
the queen. At the same time he raised and promoted a man named Haman and had
set his seat above all princes.
At
one particular moment when Mordecai refused to bow to Haman, he sought to
destroy all the Jews who were living throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
So a
decree was written to destroy and kill all the Jews. As the decree was
proclaimed in Shushan, the city was perplexed.
Many
a times in our lives we get perplexed when someone rises against us. Even today
you might go through a situation where you have someone against you in your
work place or in your college or in your relative circle. What you have to do
in such a situation?
As the
city of Shushan got perplexed all the Jews including Esther looked to God in
fasting for three days and God heard their cry. As you keep on reading the
further chapters of Esther you will come to know that Haman was hanged on the
gallows. God destroyed the enemy and the Jewish people were saved by the mighty
hand of God.
Esther
8:15 “….the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad”
The
same city that was perplexed was filled with joy and gladness. God will do the
same to you.
You
might be filled with sorrow; someone might have come against you and you might
have got perplexed because of that person; your life was in danger because of
the sickness or sin. Do not lose hope. Jesus Christ will give joy and gladness
in your life. All you have to do is to look at Him. He will be your refuge. He
will drive away all the enemies those who come against your life. What they had
desired to do in your life will happen in their life but you will be safe in
the gracious hands of God. You might be perplexed thinking about the uncertain future. Do not get discouraged for Jesus Christ will surely fill your future with joy and gladness. God will carry you, sustain you, protect you, bless
you and will raise you.
