Queen Esther and the Feast of Purim

This weekend was the celebration of Purim–a Jewish Holy Day set aside to commemorate the deliverance of the Jews in Persia.

This story is found in Scripture, nestled inside the Book of Esther. Read Esther with understanding, seeing God at work in this Book of betrayal, courage, and light. Esther is a servant of the High God, who was placed in a position of authority and influence for God’s Divine purpose. She was blessed among women, and had favor with God and man.  I encourage you to partake of Esther at the Father’s table.
