The Old Testament book of Esther makes no reference to God, but the entire story bears the unmistakable imprint of His ways. Your faith will be strengthened as you see how God intervened to deliver His people from annihilation. God still masterfully orchestrates and weaves together every detail of our lives and this universe in jaw-dropping ways. Nothing and no one can thwart His plan!

I thoroughly enjoyed this study! Referred to other bible references in scripture, so got an overview of other linked verses as well as a deep dive into Esther. I have never studied Esther and this gave me a great foundation! Fantastic. Also, the study is very pretty :)
As a Jen Wilkin Bible study faithful, this study was a nice change. Although small, it is jammed back with truth!
Esther is an entire book in the Bible that does not mention God once. Instead Gods presence is evidenced all throughout the book. What I once thought was just a story of a brave woman sticking up for her people, I learned it is so much more. It’s a story of God’s providence and will in our lives. How what we think are coincidences, and perfect timing (even split second timing) is really all apart of Gods plan and providence for us!
The seven truths of Esther: - You are in a battle. - God has a sovereign plan. - You are a part of God’s plan. - God’s plan will never fail - It’s a beautiful thing to live under God’s caring providence. - There is no situation so desperate God cannot redeem it. - Don’t judge the outcome of the battle by the way things look right now.
This may be my favorite ever Bible study! It was perfect for this season in my life. Diving deep into the book of Esther and really examining the actions of Esther, Mordecai, and Ahasuerus helped me to better understand the magnitude of God's work in the situation. Well written, great questions, appropriate verses, thought-provoking content... 5 whole stars, and I can't wait to do another in this series!
There were some questions that seemed so obvious, like what was the point of even asking that, but by the end of the study you get to see how all of the obvious details in the story of Esther help create a beautiful image of how God works behind the scenes in our lives.
