Be ready for what you pray for!

In Esther ch 3-7, we read about the noble actions of the beautiful queen, the wicked Haman and his plot to exterminate the Jews, and the faithful Mordecai, who would not alter his faith. God is working behind the scenes in so many ways in this book, without even being mentioned. Why else would the king suddenly want the historical records read and the incident of Mordecai saving the king noted! Surely that must have been a small incident in the entire history of the kingdom! One would expect mighty battles with the king victorious to be read. And realize that when plans are made for wicked purposes, they will backfire! And most importantly, when you pray as Esther and Mordecai did, expect results!
