O Father, You Are Sovereign!

by Alistair Begg

Esther 5:1–14
 (ID: 2974)

Esther, appropriately fearful, chose to risk her life for the sake of the Jews, approaching King Ahasuerus’s throne to seek the protection of her people. She proceeded with winsome subtlety and humility, despite the urgency and conviction of her cause. In contrast, Haman’s temporary honor was not enough; his pride blinded him and filled him with discontent. Behind all these human decisions and actions, Alistair Begg reminds us, the sovereignty of God was at work and, even to this day, can never be thwarted.
