#soap # Esther 10 ## Title: God Was There All The Time ## Scripture: (Esther 10:3) “Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus. He was the highest-ranking Jew, and he was admired by his numerous relatives. He worked enthusiastically for the good of his people and was an advocate for the welfare of all his descendants.” (NET) ## Observation: The book of Esther ends with Mordecai, the unsung hero, receiving a legacy of strength. However, there is a real hero that is never even mentioned by name. God’s name is never said, but we see His effects throughout. God works like this so many times in our lives. We may be so busy in the details we forget to call on Him. He’s not offended. He is busy working things out in ways that we won’t notice till later. This is not an excuse to overlook talking to God. It’s the realization that He is working, whether we realize it or not. ## Application: Realize that your whole life is governed by the Lord. Think about it. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us more than we realize.
