Christ is Our Victory

 

Bible Passage: Esther 9

Scripture:

All the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and the royal civil administrators aided the Jews because they feared Mordecai. For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful. (Esther 9:3‭-‬4 CSB)

Observation:

a. The Jews definitely had their enemies, those who wished to destroy them. Yet they had someone great on their side: the king, with all his resources. With the king for them, it didn’t matter who was against them.

b. We have our own enemies to deal with; but with the King of Kings on our side, we have no reason to fear – What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

Application:

As the Jews' preservation of their lives was due to the help of of Mordecai and Esther with their great influence of the king, there's no need to fear or worry about their life as the victory was already theirs - knowing they have the great advantage and power. Same goes with my God, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, He is my strong defense that no matter how hard the spiritual attacks I encounter, I'm confident that I will overcome because Jesus had overcome. I have nothing to lose because God is on my side. He is my refuge, my strength and my song. God protects His people and His children. He cares even more those who put their trust in Him, dedicating their lives to fulfill God's calling and purpose for their lives. Nothing can shake God's children because the Chief Cornerstone is on their side in the mighty and precious name of their Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

Almighty Father, You know all the contents of my heart and the thoughts of my mind. Thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness to me each day of my life. I pray that You empower me to accomplish the vision and mission You entrusted to me for the glory of Your name. Help me, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to not let my fears win but instead, Your love and truth overpowers my mind and heart that compel me to do Your will. I give you all the glory and the praises in whatever I do and whoever I become - as I grow in Your likeness by the help of the Holy Spirit renewing my mind to be in alignment to Your will and refreshing my soul as I grow deeper in love with You - sweeter as the days go by, looking forward to the day, I finally see You face-to face, enjoying Your presence forevermore. Amen.
