Simple Thoughts On Promises- 109

If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! (Matthew 7:11)

In the book of Esther we read of a wonderful blessing that God bestowed upon the Jews who were fearing annhilation because of a deadly plan by a man called Haman who had decided to wipe out every Jew. God overthrew his plan and instead of pain and death, they were blessed in this way as we read in Esther Ch. 8
The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. (Esther 8:16)

Darkness, sorrow and belittling were replaced by light and joy and honour.
How remarkable.
Esther, Mordecai and the Jews fasted and prayed and God brought a total reversal of things as they were to be.

So do not despair because of the circumstances you are facing. Go into God's presence with prayer and fasting and God will stretch forth his hand to bless you just as King Artaxerex held out the golden sceptre for Esther.

Jesus loves you and he will give you light and joy and honour just as he gave it to Esther, Mordecai and the Jews. God bless you.
