Esther 4:12 (The Message)
12-14. When Hathach told Mordecai what Esther had said, Mordecai sent her this message: "Don't think that just because you live in the king's house you're the one Jew who will get out of this alive. If you persist in staying silent at a time like this, help and deliverance will arrive for the Jews from someplace else; but you and your family will be wiped out. Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this."
No mention of God, Satan, or angels! No reference of how to live a christian life! Hummmm, so why should we study this book of Esther? Because it is in the Bible and the Bible is the inspired Word of God, given to us for correction and reproof. In this very important book, you may not see Gods name in it but His handwriting is all over it. It is an amazing story of how God is working in the lives of people, just like you and me. We can't always see the plan in action, so what do you do when we can't? What happens when we get to the Red Sea and it doesn't part? Does it mean that God has forgotten us, and there really is not a plan for us? Of course not, this is when faith kicks in and we stand there and say, God I don't have a clue what is going on, but I am going to trust you and believe you are working on my behalf! I know you love me and nothing can separate me from Your love! Sweet friends, if you get a chance to study about this woman that God used to save her people (the Jews), you will be blessed to say the least!
