Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful way that You used Esther and Mordecai to prevent the annihilation of the Jewish nation during the time of the Persian empire. I rejoice to see how their faith and hope in You was rekindled and that despite their many failings, You used them to forward Your redemptive plan. I pray that I would not allow the things of this world to undermine my faith in You and my hope in the soon return of the Lord Jesus. Help me to walk in spirit and truth and use me, I pray, in the unfolding of Your wonderful plan of redemption, for the glory of Your holy name. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
