From the Tribe of Judah!

Esther 6:1-3 (The Message)


1-2 That night the king couldn't sleep. He ordered the record book, the day-by-day journal of events, to be brought and read to him. They came across the story there about the time that Mordecai had exposed the plot of Bigthana and Teresh—the two royal eunuchs who guarded the entrance and who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 The king asked, "What great honor was given to Mordecai for this?"

"Nothing," replied the king's servants who were in attendance. "Nothing has been done for him."

Well, I wonder why the king couldn't sleep! What was going on with a man that was King over a vast province, the very same one who on the advice of Haman had ordered an edict to be sent out that all the Jews would be destroyed? Well, if you will read this tremendous account of Queen Esther, you will discover she was on the throne "for such a time as this"! The answer to the sleepless night is of course Gods plan in the works making sure the Jews were not destroyed. This was the line our Savior Jesus Christ came from, so they had to be protected! Was King Xerxes a Jew or even a believer in God? No, he wasn't! He didn't have a clue what was going on, he didn't even know the Jews were the one he had ordered to be destroyed! The kings crown may have been over his eyes and ears, and he was certainly listening to that crafty Haman the amalakite. (When you read the story you will know these people were at war with God himself), To say he was out of touch and didn't have a clue is an understatement! But, (I love that word because it shows something is about to change) Gods plan was being orchestrated as it always is in our life to. We may not and usually don't see what is going on, but believe me friend, there are great and might things happening at this very second just for you. Things you have been praying about, don't you dare give up, when the time of God is right, you will see this very thing. In His time, it is all about "His timing". There are other people and events that play into our lives and you must trust God to see it through. Haman would not succeed, Jesus would be born from the tribe of Judah, and Esther and Mordecai would have an account in the greatest Book every known. King Xerxes, well you will just have to read about him. All of this just to say, God has a plan for your life! don't think for one minute you are alone and you are unimportant. You are treasured far above anything you can imagine. Have a blessed day!
