God's Invisible Hand

Thursday, December 14, 2023

In the Book of Esther, even though the name of God isn't mentioned even once the presence of God is evident in every event; though seeming at times to be out of control, exactly on track, guided by the hand of God. There are times when we don't feel assured of His presence in the events of our lives. The fact is, even when you can't see or feel Him, He's there.When it seems as if He's abandoned you, He's always faithful. Even when Messiah cried out, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me, God wasn't absent; it was God crying out. When you cry out, -Where are you God?- God cries out with you. We know the God of Exodus, of Judgments, Miracles, Passovers, Red Seas, and thundering Mountains, but we also need to know the God of the Book of Esther. He's the One who may seem absent in our moments of crisis but is there in every event, speaking in the invisible burning bushes; moving in the quiet Passovers and bringing His people the Promised Land through hidden Red Seas.
