Dearly
beloved,
In the Bible, we read about a woman called Esther. She received the privilege of becoming the queen of a kingdom through her relative. She who was in an ordinary level was elevated in this manner. Yet she had godly fear in her.
Job who lost everything in life asked his wife who was bitter against him, “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?"(Job 2:10). What was his hope? It was his firm conviction that the trust he had on God will never fail him.
In Esther’s life too, she might have been very happy when she became the wife of the king. At this time, suddenly the devil, which took over the wicked Haman as an instrument, planned to destroy her and her people, the tribe of Jews. Nobody else could counter-change this scheme. The responsibility fell on Esther. She did not want to overcome this with her own strength or wisdom. She fully believed, “This is not possible by me but only by my God.” So she sought the face of the Lord reverentially by not eating or drinking for three days and night (Esther 4:16).
Because she held to the Lord firmly, the Lord did a great miracle for her. Yes, He is the One who does unexpected good things and miracles for those who trust Him. God heard Esther's prayer and miraculously protected the Jews. God commanded a situation in which the Jews, who shed tears and were deeply troubled out of fear, rejoiced and praised God.
In the days when the Jesus Calls ministry was multiplying because of God’s blessing, many tried to put an end to the ministry out of jealousy. But my husband Bro. D.G.S. Dhinakaran went on his knees and prayed day and night because of which the Lord destroyed the works of the devil and commanded more prosperity in the ministry than ever before.
The Psalmist exclaims, “How great is your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You, which You bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in You” (Psalm 31:19). When you honour God with all your heart and come to Him for protection, He will shower upon you His immeasurable goodness, which He has prepared for you, before everyone.
