  1. 2-17-13 Who Knows...?

  2. Isaiah 49:15-16 • One of the main reasons for the book of Esther is to let you know that if you’re His child, God will never forget you. • Your name is written on the palm of His hand.

  3. Providence: • The person who walks through the world and sees no God, is declared by inspired authority to be a fool. • But the wise man’s eyes, with an inner sight, discovers God at work everywhere.

  4. Psalm 115:3 • Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. • Psalm 135:6 • Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.

  5. Though God may at times seem distant, but He is alwaysactively at work. • Though absent by name from this book, God is present in every scene and in the movement of every event, • until He brings everything to a marvelous climax as He proves Himself Lord and Savior of His people.

  6. This is what we see demonstrated in the Book of Esther. • The crisis about which the book is written is providentially anticipated  • and then providentially overruled  at just the crucial moment.

  7. Who knows…? • Ease leads to Grief v.1-3 • Grief leads to Repentance • Repentance leads to Wisdom • Wisdom leads to Action • “We have been sent here for such a time as this”

  8. What’s next in your life? • What little details or circumstances are or are not transpiring in your life that might have a significant impact on your future? • The point is that God is the God of details and is sovereign over every circumstance of our lives

  9. God Moves God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.

  10. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His race; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.

  11. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower.

  12. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.
