Esther 6:1
2/5/2025
That night the king could not sleep, so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.
It has often been noted that God is not mentioned in the book of Esther, but that His hand is everywhere observed. We see here God troubling the sleep of the king, putting into his mind reading something boring, guiding the choice of the reader, presenting a forgotten incident concerning Mordecai, and prompting the king to do something in response to what he heard. Had any of these things not happened, the story as we know it could not have proceeded. We have words like “lucky”, “coincidence”, “chance” to explain this kind of thing as it happens in our lives. But in our lives, even as in Esther’s, God directs all things after the counsel of His purposes in Jesus.
