Are there ever moments in your life when you feel like God is silent? Maybe when you get on your knees to pray but you don’t feel like your prayers are getting past the ceiling? In today’s Christmas message “Unlikely Messenger Boys,” Pastor Stephen Davey will encourage us to keep our eyes peeled and our ears open because God’s silence is never an indication that God is asleep or disinterested. God was silent toward the Jews for 400 long years; but then, one night in Bethlehem, He ended that silence in a dramatic way. God has never forgotten His people . . . and He never will.
Scandals abound in a drama cast in the ancient Persian Empire. In the midst of political intrigue and betrayal, a beautiful orphan girl suddenly becomes the leading character, as God’s providence rescues His people from certain death. At first glance, Esther is the heroine and Mordecai the master manipulator. Take a closer look, however, and you’ll discover that behind the scenes, God is pulling the strings as His sovereign providence unfolds.
