The book of Esther is one of the most interesting books in the Hebrew Bible, as it’s the only book that doesn’t directly mention God. However, you can see how God’s providence, while not overt, is at work through average people through extraordinary circumstances. This book addresses numerous important themes, including justice, purpose, deliverance, and trusting in God’s plan. For many who are unsure of how God is showing up in their life, this book handles the complexity of God’s providence in beautiful ways. Every follower of Jesus, and some might suggest every human being, has tried to make sense of God’s plan when life seemed confusing.
