Esther 9:20-10:3
Don't underestimate God's tactics. This is our last day in Esther and as I looked back and considered this book, I saw clearly how God always works out His plan in His way (even though it may not always make sense to us). There were a number of players in this story, but did you notice that a couple of the major players (the king and Haman) didn't even acknowledge God as their God? You see, God can and does use anyone He pleases to fulfill His plans and purposes. That was a good reminder for me and something that would be beneficial for me to keep in the forefront of my memory.
So how can knowing that God can and does use people that don't follow or acknowledge Him help us as we go about life? Can it help us in our prayer lives? And, if God chooses to use someone who doesn't follow Him to accomplish something mighty, what does that tell us about how He can use you and me to make an impact and difference for Him? Tami W.
yes it can open us up ans Christians to prayer for every one that comes in contact with us ...God uses them to show us things too but sometimes we are to blind to see...
Thinking about God using even people who don't believe in Him gives me a lot of confidence. It reminds me that I can trust God with anything and anyone.
Another one of my favorite books. This book came alive to me last year while I was going through a tough time. It just gave me confidence that God is in control, no matter what I think or do. He is good at leading and directing me to where I need to be. He is in absolute control of my life no matter if I feel Him there or not. And not allowing my emotions overpower the Truth of God's Word.We are born and the places we live are preordained by God and He can be trusted.
