Chag Purim Sameach: For Such A Time As This

"Then Mordecai commanded Esther:
Think not with thyself that thou shall escape in the king's house,
more than all the Jews.  For if though altogether holdest thy peace at this time,
then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place;
but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether 
 thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
(Esther 4:13-14)

The story of Queen Esther is one of tremendous faith in God and courage

in the face of adversity.  It has always been one of my favorite stories
in the Bible and speaks even more deeply to my often troubled
heart in these uncertain and perilous times.

The Hamans of this world are once again rearing their ugly heads....

But God is still in control of everything.

So be encouraged!

"Sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own!"

Chag Purim Sameach!

(Happy Purim!)
